Save our Barmaids

[Bazf]

THE EU has declared a crackpot war on busty barmaids — by trying to ban them from wearing low-cut tops. Po-faced penpushers have deemed it a HEALTH HAZARD for bar girls to show too much cleavage. And in a daft directive that will have drinkers choking on their pints, Brussels bureaucrats have ordered a cover-up. They say barmaids run a skin cancer risk if they expose themselves to the sun when they go outside to collect glasses. ( obviously don't drink in Accy) Last night the move was blasted as an affront. Annie Powell, of real ale group Camra, raged: “It’s just another blatant example of Europe gone mad.”
The ruling is part of the new Optical Radiation Directive — expected to be rubber-stamped by the EU parliament next month. Germans are already frothing over the new law — because bars in Bavaria have been forced to comply in advance. Drinkers are threatening to boycott Munich’s famous Oktoberfest beer festival. The city’s mayor Christian Ude fumed: “This is European law-making at its most pedantic. “A waitress is no longer allowed to wander round a beer garden with a plunging neckline. I would not want to enter a beer garden under these conditions.” ( got to agree with him)

next they'll be suggesting that all beer has all alcohol removed as it's a health hazard to the consumers!!!!!!!!

[Tealeaf]

Surely this is a violation of the European Human Rights charter?

How utterly daft!!!!

Is there going to be someone going round with a tape measure?

Is that the queue for the job applicants?

Bloody Hell, that was quick.

Not being male I could be wrong, but having been a barmaid & licencee am I not right in the belief that as long as she's polite, friendly & quick to serve a decent pint, men after a few beers wouldn't notice what size a woman was or how much cleavage she's showing. It's beurocracy gone mad!!!

If she displayed all of those positive talents Debbie, I think us guys would take even more notice of her cleavage if it was on view. We'd all be after marrying her! Wow, all that and great boobs as well, what more can I say?

some men would slaver(medallion men)probably most wouldnt give a rats, its stupidty gone crazy what they are proposing.

[grego]

That ruling is just ridiculous, have these people nothing better to discuss?

[lettie]

Just think...... These people actually get paid a fortune to sit around and devise insane, pointless laws. Is it going to extend to the general public? Am I going to have to go out and buy a new wardrobe because I am no longer allowed to go for a night out in the Stag with my cleavage hanging out? Are they going to then ban the wearing of shorts in the summer by men and women for fear of letting people expose too much flesh to the sun? Will it then be law to cover all skin from head to toe?


I think I'll be ignoring this one..
