I suspect this is one of those threads where most people would be better served by agreeing to disagree, as I can't see it ending without doing so in anything other than tears

Agreed. I just started it with three examples of the Mail's double standards. It can feature bare breasts and scantily clad women, but takes the moral high ground when others do so.

Is it wrong that my first though on seeing that pic with Liz Jones was "my god they have to wear those hideous shiny tights, the poor things"?

Second thought, will their boss actually protect them when they're being sexually harassed by a customer, or will they be told to get over it? Because unfortunately there will be morons who feel entitled to simply because of what the waitress is wearing.

Apparently customers harassing the waitresses get thrown out. (source is an American colleague who has been there on a couple of stag dos)

I wouldn't want to wear those tights either, they make even the best legs look like sausages!

Civil servants dined at 'tacky' restaurant paid for by taxpayer

Diners spent £150 each at Hooters

Except if you read the article it's £120 and it was a 'group' (size unspecified) of 'civil servants' - in fact Ordnance Survey staff. The amounts paid out were within the daily subsistence allowance which, I can testify, is not large (and increases as you get more important, which seems like music to Mailite ears).

Vile, lying, dogwhistling, scumbag, Kirsty!

‘Everyone has their passion but this kind of spending is inexcusable and represents the very worst excesses that were allowed to develop under Labour,’ Mr Shapps said.

So leering at waitresses while eating chicken wings is a "passion"? And travel expenses are "inexcusable"? Has Grant Shapps been taking soundbite advice from the Taxpayers Alliance?

It's funny that, while unemployment is high, the business class seats in aeroplanes continue to be well occupied — yet I haven't read any stories in the Mail about private-sector bosses' outrageous expense claims. Private companies continue to entertain their clients by taking them to lap-dancing clubs and strip joints, about which there is not a word.

Ah, I might well head off to Hooters tonight. Will see if the missus is up for it...

Tubby Isaacs · **Posted:** Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:30 pm

I think I got about £15 for my away from home subsistence when I worked for the Prison Service in 2000.

Christ, a rise of £5.80 in 11 years. Labour really let that get out of control, didn't they?

Schapps must be responding to a different story, mustn't he? He makes "literally" no sense. It would take 10 seconds looking at his diary to find a dinner costing more than £20.

And not in the Mail:

Quote:

In contrast to us not criticising the employees of Hooters, staff and supporters have called me many variations on ugly, unable to get a man, a bitch, a cunt and threatened me with violence.

Quote:

Throughout the day the nasty and angry comments continued until a friend emailed me to say that she had looked at one critic's own Facebook profile to find that he was calling me a cunt who needed to pay. He was writing how he was going to find me and make me pay, post my online details on 4chan, as well as encouraging his friends to join in with harassing me. Another critic commented on his profile how I was a douchebag, writing 'screw you'. His friends joined in, one of them saying that he would like to 'kick me in the vagina'.

Hooters in the UK?

That is well known in the US by the disapproving wives of pro-football fans.

Oh and this guy Mike Polk's take on Hooters (among other things).
