I went to the chemist to buy some Selsun shampoo on the advice of you lovely HHO lot, as its half the price of Seleen from the vets and is pretty much the same thing.
So I toddle into Boots, have a cursory glance at the shampoo aisle, and go to the counter...
Me: Hello, do you have any Selsun shampoo?
Counter Lady: ummm (*stares at my hair*) what the medicated dandruff shampoo?
Me: err, yes (*thinking* oh crap, she's rumbled me. I knew I shouldn't have washed my hair and used that new fancy conditioner. Its looking so super fab and glossy. And I'm wearing my jodhs, a joules Tshirt and my toggi boots. She knows its for the horse, and then she won't sell it to me. SHE KNOWS)
CL: you don't look like you need it.
Me: *swiftly reddening, looking guilty* Erm, why thank you. Its for... my... boyfriend (*points to OH out of the window, who is sat in the car picking his nose*) Yes! He has horrible dandruff, disgusting really.
CL: oh, ok. That's £5.25 then please.
Poor old OH will never be able to go to Boots again without them scrutinising his scalp. Sweet revenge for the time he came to the chemist with me when I needed some Witch Hazel for brightening the horses hooves. Its 4.55pm on a friday and I need it for a show the next day, and OH pipes up at the counter "Which one of the horses is this for?" And the chemist bloke goes "oh sorrrrrry, we can't sell you anything if its for animal use". Grrrr. Well, this'll learn him!
