NEWS Shopper's resident saloon-sleuth Pubspy has launched a search for the best barmaid in the area.

The sozzled scribe wants nominations for Pubspy Barmaid of the Year 2001. Then, the voting is down to YOU the reader by visiting his website at www.thepubspy.co.uk

Barmaids can enter themselves, or readers can nominate their favourite girls for the award. All entrants will be featured on the website, and Pubspy fans can log on and vote for their favourite.

PubSpy said: "It's important to remember we're looking for a good all-round barmaid. It's no use having a nice smile and wearing a miniskirt if you can't pull a pint and count the money at the end of the night!"

He added: "I will be making my own strong recommendations on who I think the eventual winner should be!"

Send a picture, details of yourself and where you work, and why you think you should win, to

www.thepubspy.co.uk, or by post to Pubspy Barmaid of the Year 2001, Mega House, Crest View Drive, Petts Wood, Kent, BR5 1BT.

l Guys don't feel left out, Pubspy's Barman of the Year competition is coming soon.
