SIR: I agree with Julie Carmichael and Brian Rigby (BEN, May) 17, Topless barmaids aren't tasteless. However, Julie and Brian insult female impersonators by describing them as transvestites. Female impersonators were employed in pubs and clubs long before topless barmaids. As for police victimising the Millstone pub as Julie and Brian claim, the police have a job to do in the name of law and order. Julie and Brian Rigby keep a good pint and a clean looking pub. They are popular and well liked by the Millstone customers. They should live and let live.
