Business is booming at a German brothel next to a dole office which is offering
a special discount rate for the unemployed.
The owners of Berlin's Schulz & Co brothel have introduced special rates
of just £10 pounds for the country's growing number of jobless men.
Jobless Bernd Gramm, 48, said: "Before I could only have my fun once every
couple of months, if that. But now I can go twice a month for a rock-bottom
price, and the quality of the service still remains the same."
Gina, one of the brothel's employees, said: "Monday was always a slow
day and we never used to have more than three clients. But this Monday we have
already had twenty.
She added: "The dole office is right next door and people are literally
bursting in. We give them the same service, just without the long talks that
we usually do to get a client going. At that price we can't afford to waste
that much time."
