Organisers of the Grand National have launched a crackdown on photographers taking unflattering pictures of Ladies' Day munters at this year's event.
Aintree racecourse boss John Baker told the Liverpool Echo the venue wanted to protect women at the world's biggest steeplechase from "unfair" coverage.
He said any photographers taking shots which enforce negative stereotypes could have their accreditation revoked.
Aintree want to a stop a recent trend of photographs showing women in "unflattering" poses - which some have accused of portraying Liverpool in an unfavourable light.
Mr Baker told the paper: "We want to overwhelm the negativity, to push the positivity to the front.

How silly.
Every publication should run a feature called ''The shots they tried to ban.'' I'd make damn sure every snap I took was a cracker after threating everybody like that. |

Any sightings of the Bald Beaver on Merseyside?

After viewing that lot pixie can't say I blame them for the banning order.
The only crackers on display were the numerous thighs that could crack nuts. |

Plenty of 'eight-pinters' in those pics

 looking at those pics a lot of 'em look like panto dames. Love those northern women, they are just having a good time and having a laugh, it's not Royal Ascot. |

Royal Ascot's no better in the cheap ring, too many people in too small a space.
Out joint was by the 2 furlong pole and we were nowhere near the last one in the line. Not a blade of grass left for anybody to sit or stand on. Couldn't go for a piss as you'd never get back because of the dense crowds. And when the horses came past I couldn't see a thing, as the the punters all stood on chairs, tables and dustbins to watch. |

Sheer class compared to the Thursday of the Leger meeting since that got rebranded as Ladies Day.
As one punter up from London commented to a group of ladies there a few years back: "Are you lot vampires? Cos I don't think you can see yourselves in a mirror." |

On another note does a woman dressing in all white still mean she is a virgin?

I think nowadays it just means she's more confident in her sphincter control than I would be in mine.
