Yeah but this isn ' t blue so storm crow this <| sep |> Hehe that was an unintended pun ? . Are you a SB or a SD ? This is of course only my impression of the difference between the US and the UK . Others may have a different impression . The main difference I think , is that the SBs are more direct in the UK . Usually they bring up the allowance and what amount they would like per month and per meet . They expect to be paid for the first meet as well . With regards to the timescale , I ' ve had SBs messaging me to meet the same day . But not that many . Usually it ' s a couple of messages on SA , then some texts discussing the details of the arrangement frequency expectations allowance and setting a meet within a couple of days . I don ' t know if there are any specific UK sugarbowl forums if that is what you are asking , but if you like you can PM me if you have any questions .
