Prostitutes occupying the windows around the North Station in Brussels are feeling the pinch of the credit crisis. While they pay between €150 to €300 a day to rent a window, the price is set to rise as Schaerbeek commune ups the taxes on the specialised ‘waitresses’ from €2,500 a year to €3,353.Last year, this tax brought in €450,000 to the commune, its third biggest source of revenue.
I guess with all that extra afternoon delight business from the Eurocrats, they felt a rent increase was justifiable.
