Today when I was buying H&H a woman kept looking at me and tutting shaking her head and looking down at the mag. Reminded me of a little while back when some woman went nuts at me in the middle of Tesco's for being a murdering, blood thristy b****. couldn't work it out until I realised she was referring to the fact that I was buying H&H and she was obviously an anti. I was so embarrassed and to top it all off I have never been hunting, (only due to the fact it is just not for me) but this woman was vile!! anyone ever had anything similar?? Do people assume stuff about you cause of your hobby or reading tastes??
 
I have to say that when I buy H&H in the supermarket, I wonder if the salesperson might have anti views re: hunting, and hence the cover page displaying people out hunting might provoke a reaction! To date this never has.
You can't (or shouldn't) automatically assume that because someone buys H&H they are into hunting.

Iv had that and 'fancy riding me'-YAWN!!!!
 
Never happened to me. I personally don't agree with fox hunting but i wouldn't condemn anyone who does, its not my place.
I am very opinionated and would have far too much to say to someone if they made comment to me with regards to buying H & H-its not anyones business.
Lets be honest, there are worst things going on in the world that people should be more concerned about.
 
I just made a very sarky comment about her buying the Sun and what I could obviously assume about her (PS. Nothing against sun readers just what she had in her hand!) Personally i am not particularly for fox hunting, like blueberry though would never condemn anyone for doing it, but certainly was not going to give this woman the satisfaction when she had victimised me for what she assumed were my beliefs! the fact that i replied using correct english was also an issue - quite funny now when i look back on it!!!
Best one is though when you are in riding gear and stupid fella will say - so why you dressed like that then? Had that one before - decided he obviously wasn't the brightest button in the box!!!
 
Had a livery once who refused to speak to me because I suggested she read an interesting article in H+H (I think it was about tack). She refused to open the mag because she was convinced it was full of photos of disembowelled fluffy creatures!
 
Haha thankfully no weird comments when buying H&H. I did get written death threats though when I used to park my 2CV in the centre of Norwich with my CA sticker in the window. The death threats would be stuck all over my car. In the end I moved to a different car park as it was the middle of winter and that one was very dark and lonely! I didn't take my sticker out the car though

I stopped for lunch in my breeches and boots on the way home from competing a friends horse, a large group of lads started to goose step around the beer garden whilst casting aspersions on my sexuality....i was just working out how i could get them to shut up without getting my head knocked off when 3 girls from a yard i used to be at came in dressed riding gear, one spotted what was going on and marched over shouting - our stevos not gay he cant be coz he satisfied all of us last weekend - the look on their faces was a picture!! (i think it took about half an hour till my face stopped being red tho!)
 
I wouldn't mind being hurled anti abuse at me if the magazine did do any coverage on Hunting!
 
I went to the Post Office straight from the yard once and the man behind me complained to the lady behind the counter that I should be allowed in because I had "horrid horsey feet"! I wasn't sure whether to laugh or if he was being serious. I am still not sure.....
 
A classic to shut up the ignoramuses (sp?!) who make rude or lewd comments about horsey stuff is to put the sweetest look on your face, and quote the t-shirt along the lines of "yes, but I usually have 17 hands between my legs and I'm sure you could never match that, could you?" !!

Has certainly shut up everyone who's ever made a comment to me! LOL

Me and my friend walked into the local newsagents at 9 in the morning once, dressed in breeches and pony club jumper, shirt and tie. The whole shop went silent and stared at us up and down. My friend put on a posh accent and said "Now, where can I find polo's for my darling Jack? He simply refuses to budge if I don't give him one" And strolled to the back of the shop.
I was silently crying with laughter as I walked past a group of mega-chavs, who were catching flies.

Funnily enough I don't buy H&H , only about once every 2months.

I've not had any lewd comments, but my boyfriends mum once asked with a horrified expression on her face, 'was I really going out dressed like that' (in my riding gear to the shop) when I answered that I was, she said 'but everyone will think you cant afford any proper clothes' !!!!! And his grandfather once said in response to some woman in a 4x4 with CA sticker not letting us out that 'well, that's one of your lot Alex' - thanks you miserable git!!
