You can just imagine ....
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has announced that the wearing of bow ties in public spaces is to be banned.
The Loi Papillon comes into force immediately with a fine of £700 for anyone caught wearing a bow tie in public, except for public carnivals and fetes nationals. Fines, however, would be doubled for wives who force their husbands or sons to wear bow ties in public.
Sarkozy yesterday underlined France’s new hardline stance against the bow tie by declaring that the “noeud papillon is a sign of British subservience that is not welcome in France. The bow tie alienates non-bow tie wearers, and it looks kind of stupid.”
