Womens Dress Sense Snubbed By Earl

The Dress Habits at the Aintree Grand National were snubbed by the Goodwood Earl of March who commented that "We have far too many chavs I'm afraid. There are other racecourses whose patrons dress as though they are going to a nightclub "I won't be asking visitors to wear morning coats but I would like to see the ladies in nice traditional English summer frocks, with linen suits and Panama hats for the gentlemen. "Perhaps we will have to have some spare jackets around."

His comments are likely to have been prompted by the Grand National meeting in April when Ladies' Day looked more like the queue for fancy dress night at a Liverpool nightclub. The footballers' wives and glamour girls of the North-West put on a display that spectators at Aintree will never forget. Heaving bosoms were on show, along with acres of fake tan and extravagant headdresses perched on bleached-blonde hairdos.
