Don't call the barmaid 'love'

[KLA2]

Political correctness gone insane ...

Bar managers and store owners face large-scale compensation claims if their customers ogle their barmaids, waitresses or check-out staff.

... a pub landlord could be sued if a bar worker complains about being called "love", or over customers telling each other off-colour jokes.

I despair.

I know women are going to relate stories of groping, pinching, grabbing and offensive comments, but that is not what this is about. I wish more women would call me "love' ... {sigh}

"Ogle"??? Certainly will put Hooters (and the women who work there) out of business.

Oh god.

The appropriate equation here is:

Mail + EU = outrage

As far as I know the legislation doesn't actually change anything, the Mail are simply appealing to their Little England readership, the ones who think the EU wants to outlaw curved bananas, ban Eastenders and force us to speak esperanto.

Naah political correctness is using 10 syllables where one would do. This is a case of plain old insanity.
