A bizarre Liverpudlian bye-law that apparently banned women from going topless in public unless they worked in a tropical fish store came third.



However, the city has denied such a rule existed, saying it was an urban myth.



A spokesman for Liverpool City Council said: "It's something that has been heard of before and does crop up from time to time, but it is absurd.



"It is a myth and totally made up. It has no basis in fact."
