    A guy that came to do some work on our house "offered" nicely if we wanted to do a bit of swinging with him and his wife, the bits I could see of him looked a bit like Ron Jeremy, I was worried the rest might be the same, so I said no.

    Re-reading this, if the guy didn't look like Ron Jeremy, you would have said yes?

    I have never been propositioned by a swinger (joking earlier). I come across a little too conservative natured I think.

    However I am aware that a lot of this type of thing goes on in certain 'romantic' (Surrey) car parks close to where I live.

    If parking in the wrong area at night, it's likely you'll receive a knock on the car window from an eager inquisitive man or woman.

    Thats not swinging, its dogging.

    They all have poor form as far as I can tell.

    You want me to admit to being a swinger on here?

    I think you are getting mixed up with swinging (in comfy lounges with keys in a saucer) and dogging (in steamed up cars in public places).

    I only know cos I read about it in Heat whilst doing some critical work research...life saving actually. :o

    It certainly is shocking that the returns on London property have plummeted so dramatically.
