Its one of them bikini girls....remember the thread about whether they should be wandering around a local pub half-dressed in the middle of the afternoon? They are now allowed to wear little cardigans cos its too cold and they end up showing off rather more than they should
Certain blokes round here wanted photos - having now mastered my iThing I have now produced the requested photo

Obviously hired for her ability to walk in 6 inch heels rather than her intelligence....approached a table where two of were sat, each with full pint glasses, and asked if she could get us another drink.....

Crown on Lutwyche Road. I was there with a mate till 10.30 the other night and there were still two of them prancing round half-dressed, serving drinks outside as well, I think that was one of the nights it dropped to about 9-10 degrees.

Nope!!! In fact there are less there than there used to be
Problem is that a lot of the original customers left when it became one of two pubs frequented by all the guys from the roadworks/tunnel fiasco going on up here, now the pub has realised that the work is nearing its end and they will have no customers left.....so they are trying everything they can to attract business.....new food menu once a month, new furniture, paint the walls, TAB to make drinking customers wait while they serve the gambling ones , dodgy meat raffles (they really should check the meat doesn't have a green tinge ) and scantilly clad waitresses - but the bikinis don't fit usually and its a case of bikini-waitress-bum whenever they bend over

but the Bulmers is cheap and there is nowhere else in walking distance

I'm not 100% familiar with that area but I thought it was a residential area and would have thought it was families or men with families rather than bogans (who are likely to appreciate that kind of set up)

No wonder no one wants to go in. That sort of set up is more suitable to whoop whoop or mining towns or industrial areas where men go to get a leg over after a few beers, not a family residential area

How the heck did they (the hotel) get it passed that they could dress the girls like that, do they not need a special license?

It used to be more of a family pub before the road crews arrived, lots of families at lunchtimes at least, don't see that so much now. Bernie and I used to drink there a couple of years back and it wasn't too bad then, in fact the standard has dropped in the last year quite dramatically. The Kedron Park Hotel is the same, full of orange-clad road-workers now, and they started the bikini thing first. I was even in the KP the other night when one of the guys stripped naked to change out of his work gear - in the middle of the bar at 5 in the afternoon

I was surprised that they don't need a license for the bikini girls but apparently not cos they are clothed (sort-of) and aren't stripping That one today wasn't too bad, but they have had some real horrors in the past, spilling out round the edges and hoisting their too-small knickers up by the waistband as they walk round ....its not pretty, I generally avoid the place Thursday to Sunday because of it.

I don't really like it, thats why I rarely drink there the nights when they are displaying themselves! Other times its a handy stop-off point between home and the shops

Its part of a chain and as far as I can they are gradually trying it in other pubs so objections don't seem to do much good. be interesting to see what happens when they lose their orange-clad roadcrews thoiugh
