Americans!
     Talking about Americans (those people who imagine that they’re universally loved), when I was in Bangkok, staying in a really nice – but cheapish – hotel [Sawasdee Bangkok Inn, 126/2 Kaosan Road, tel: 2801251], at the time of the Two Towers (that 7/11 thing, or whatever they called it, that played havoc with our return flight), a lot of the shops displayed notices, something like “Tell us if you’re American” “ Special Prices for Americans” “We love Americans” etc. I got to know a couple of the storekeepers (I’m a pretty gregarious bloke) and asked them about this. Yes, they admitted, there were special prices for Americans – about 10 times the price for anyone else! Apparently, during the Vietnam war, Bangkok was used for “R&R”, and even today (they said), the biggest customers for the sex industry are Americans! And not just the Pat-Pong sex shows – there are also very young girls for hire (is the American term a ‘Fluffer’, or is that when a young girl is used to prepare / re-arouse a guy for sex with someone else? I’m not sure of American terms. I don’t think that we British have a term for such a thing, but now that we’re in the Common Market, I suppose that we could maybe venture the term “Whores d’oeuvres”. Or would that be demeaning?).

Social Services (etc) in England
Here’s what SEEMS to happen these days, all too often:

     Hi. My name is Angela, I’m 15 years old, 5'5"/1,65m, and (so people say) stunningly attractive with a 42"/107cm bust (and my friends say I’m really lucky, ’cos as I look a lot older, I can get into any night-club). Anyway, one day, when I was walking home from school, a man glanced at my boobs and smiled at me. I didn’t think anything of it at the time and smiled back, but an Abuse Counsellor came to the school to talk to us (and I really didn’t like her, as she reminded me of Dolores Umbridge from my ‘Harry Potter’ books), and asked us if any man had ever approached us in a sexual manner, no matter how small. I only casually mentioned this - more as a joke than anything - but she said that I’d been Sexually Violated and pressured into smiling back.
     Anyway, the Police came and I gave a description to the sketch artist, and it was on the telly and in the papers, saying about Sexual Violation of a Schoolgirl. They eventually caught the man (and I'm SO GLAD, ’cos I didn’t want this predator out there, ready to strike again) but I was confused at first, as the person they caught was a 19 year-old black guy, and the man in the street had been a middle-aged white guy, but a really nice lady from the Police came and explained that this man was a “Master of Disguise”, and was wanted for a chain of similar offences, so I signed the paper to say that it was him, as I didn’t want him to carry on attacking others.
     I don’t think people understand how predators like him can wreck a person’s life, but I’ve stopped using make-up now, I don’t go out after dark, and I’m frightened of men — but there is a slight up-side to it all, as the sports-mistress has told me that men aren’t the only answer, and she thinks I’m very special, and that the way to get over trauma is to have deep meaningful and comforting hugs with new friends. I’m so pleased – she’s even arranging for me to stop over with her at her house next weekend. I’m sure I’ll be better soon, now!
