BAR BRA BUST-UP AS ALE KNOCKERS BECOME A HANDFUL.
Real ale may have its knockers, but going for bust by bringing in traditional beers is proving to be a bigger bonus for staff and customers across pub boss Tony Callaghan’s bar chain.
But while size of turnover is up, the new pint-pulling duties mean that so too is the size of some of Tony’s staff in Number Fifteen bars and his chain of independent pubs – with female employees putting in expenses claims for new bras as a consequence.
“I’m currently engaged in a right bust up with some of the female bar staff who are saying that the increased physical effort they have to put into pulling real ale pints instead of pre-pressured lager is causing them to develop muscles – and bigger chest sizes,” said Tony, who owns the Wigan-based North West pub group InnTheBar.
“We employ some bright and attractive female bar staff and managers, and they’re proving to be a right handful on this issue.”
Emma Garner, 27, who works in a number of bars in the chain, said: “Some may think it’s frivolous, but blokes don’t appreciate that bras cost money, a good one can cost up to £50 – and the wrong-sized bra can be incredibly uncomfortable as well as affect the long-term look of a girl’s chest.
“While I appreciate the benefit of moving up from a B-cup to a C-cup – and they’re getting bigger with every day of pulling pints of real ale – I have a lingerie drawer that is becoming more and more full of redundant bras that are too small for me.
“I’m still a size eight, I keep in shape by running and pole dancing, but my chest is definitely growing with the increased number of hand-pumped ales.
“The other issue is that blokes drinking in our bars undoubtedly appreciate a nice cleavage, so if our chests are well-presented then they must be considered to be promotional assets.
“I think a claim for a new collection of bras is entirely reasonable.”
