From April 6th a quip down your local like "Ere' darlin can I sniff yer fanny?, what's that NO, oh well , must be yer feet then" will most likely cost your an arm and a leg in compensation payments to the offended split arse.
Honestly, would I lie to you?.
Pub landlords beware: from next Sunday it will be an offence, punishable by unlimited compensation orders, to allow customers to chat up bar staff.
No, this isn't an early April fool. It's a European directive, sneaked into British law by Women's Minister Harriet Harman.
From April 6, employers will risk being sued if a bar worker or waitress complains of being called "love" or "darling", or if staff overhear customers telling sexist jokes.

Meanwhile, the Government Equalities Office estimates that complying with the new rules will cost hard-pressed small businesses more than £10million.
