Two pensioners from Hampshire Women’s Institute are to tour the world’s red-light districts. Jean Johnson, 62, and Shirley Landells, a 73 year old grandmother will travel to Amsterdam, visit a “bunny ranch” in America, and learn about mini brothels in New Zealand. On their return, they will tell institute members why they think prostitution should be legalised. Mrs Johnson said she expects the trip to be “quite an eye-opener”.

Or are there a lot of dwarf hookers in the antipodes?
