Agree x 2 - I find privates are purely business orientated - come in, pay money, SOP, go. You both know whats expected, whats coming ( pardon the pun ) and how it ends. I have in the past found privates a bit like getting someone to wash your car - after its done you think gee that was quick, they missed some spots, that was a waste of money and I could have done a better job myself. As Mass says and experience has taught us don't waste your time.

The shops give choice on any given day, a fresh supply every 4- 6 weeks or so, cheap try before you buy,the excitement of the unexpected and when you walk in you know most of the time you don't have to check the use by date.
What really drives me is knowing that sometimes I can push the buttons esp with the newbies and get some wonderful results. I am sure many Senior punters would agree that the skill we have built up over the years does play a significant factor in the outcome.

I actually think there should be separate sections on this board because I believe, the motivation and "needs" of punters depends on their age and life experience.
