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)
