Stall owner attacks inspector
A stall owner at the Cospicua open market attacked an inspector yesterday morning after his attention was drawn to the fact that no prices were displayed on the underwear he had for sale. The man, 20-year-old Elton Briffa, was selling lingerie from his stall, which he sets up every Tuesday in St Margaret Square, when three market surveillance officers from the Consumer and Competition Division approached him at about 9.45 a.m. The officers drew Mr Briffa’s attention to the fact that he was breaking the law by not displaying the prices of the goods laid out on his stand…..An argument ensued and Mr Briffa punched and pushed one of the officers, a court heard during the stall owner’s arraignment yesterday.

Not much space for a price tag on a tanga !

The last tanga I had in my hands had “Free” written on a tag, so it does have the price attached….
Minn qallek li kienu tangas.. dawk bloomers jilbsu hi.
It sounds like a bad porn film: The last tanga in Bormla.
How exactly did they know there weren’t any price tags, anyway? Did they feel their way around the mountainous bras and finger every G string? Now, that would have been a sight for sore eyes.
It took THREE ‘surveillance’ officers to detect such an obnoxious crime? Gawd, how I love this rock!
jekk niehu sitt tangas, trahhasli xi haga, hi?
The plural of tangas is taneg i believe….The garment in question has become a fashion no no but in Malta it still is going strong. Come summer and they start peeping out of a lot of places….strategically of course.
That other Elton has a song about being all right for fighting but it doesn’t extend to Tuesday morning.
