I think all horsey people should be barred from supermarkets

dreamcometrue,

I do so understand your irritation at those who break wind, but what is the alternative to leaving it "hanging there"?

Drawing attention to one's self, by shouting out "Jesus, that stinks", or by taking a plastic carrier bag, waving it about to weaken the odours, whilst trying not to look too obvious, would also be a trifle embarrassing.

It's the "hanging there" bit that I don't understand. I'd be interested to hear how you deal with the problem!!

Perhaps there is a windbreakers association who all agree to meet in aisle 4,9 (whatever am sure they share a map) to avail themselves of the deodorising aerosols? If there is, perhaps someone could kindly post it here so we know which aisles to avoid?
 
well darius, i have to thank you :) this thread has just brightened up my otherwise very boring sunday afternoon.

Dreamcometrue - i stand in it!!! my mum once told me it would make me grow ;) im 5'6'' and thought another couple of inches wouldnt hurt???? ;) ;)

i also yesterday stole my mums carrots to feed to my horses that she was going to cook for sunday lunch - guess i'd better replace them, now what to wear????
 
I wonder if this Darius is of the same ilk that Soldiers can't go to supermarkets in uniform... (or students in pyjamas, but thats a moot point anyway!).

I mean, yes, they're soldiers, whoop, awesome, I don't need the distraction whilst I'm trying to buy me veggies (I wouldn't normally buy cucumbers... ;) )! And god knows what lurks in their kit... they have Camel Spiders! I'd rather have horse ***** on my carrots than one of them!

And students in pyjamas. Gods. I mean, I know they only travel as far as the microwaveable meals and alcohol sections, thus leaving fresh food well alone, but do you KNOW what goes in a students bed? Disgusting!

TBPH... who buys from a supermarket and doesn't wash or cook things prior to eating?

As for horses and roads. If you can drive your car on my bridlepath without paying tax, I can ride my horse on your steeringwheelpath without paying tax. Simples, methinks.
 
I don't even pay road tax :-) That is largely because my Land Rover is 39 years old.

Why not go the whole hog, OP, and request that autistic people be barred from supermarkets?

I once saw a girl running round the supermarket in riding gear PLUS hat and whip?! There was no horse outside, or horsebox, so she had actually driven there and come in in full gear. Mind, she seemed quite young - teenager age, so there definately was an air of "LOOK! I HAVE A HORSE! I GO RIDING!"

Perhaps excusable for a teenager.

I know of two adults who loved to frequent Waitrose (only the best dahling!) in their riding attire. However, in terms of hygiene they were probably posing less risk than anyone given that they only 'played' at horses!

If I go into the local Asdas in my jods and boots I'm probably the best dressed there (unless you are a fan of fake Burberry and grubby pink tracksuits!)!
 
Having watched a smartly dressed woman produce a potty and encourage her todler to "perform" (yes actually!!! and yes it did!!) next to the unwrapped vegetables in Tescos I have absolutely no guilt about going in in hair covered jodphurs and muddy boots.

Darius - be grateful we don't pick up the poo - you would have to pay a fortune for it nicely sealed in non-biodegradeable plastic in B&Q. Nip out with a shovel and you'll have lovely roses in no time! Ah silly me - you probably don't have a garden - full of nasty dirt and creepy crawlies!!

You fakking imbecile.

That person IS the stable lad in the supermarket. You don't actually think we who own and ride the horse actually go the supermarket? We have staff that do that :D

As for road tax, I was under the impression that the extortionate cost of keeping the Range Rover on the road compensated me for polluting the vicinity, horse ***** included? :rolleyes:

I often pop into places after being up the yard - pop into the shop, quick pint in the pub..... I have also been out clubbing in my horsey gear - finished work on the yard at 9pm and went straight out - complete with poo encrusted suede full chaps! The bouncers were happy to let us in and we had a great night! :cool:

Love it. I went to work in my horsey clothes and I tell you something never had so many men comment on my outfit. Better than any designer clubbing dress.
 
I would rather stand next to a horsey person than a rank builder thats not worn deoderant all day, or some greasy specimen that has not washed for days. I have seen worse people more unhygenic people in supermarkets than horsey people.



Daruis bore off and get a life, you must be some sort of saddo with nothing better to you with your life, go and get yourself a hobby.
 
There is such an easy way around your little problem................................get the supermarket to do home delivery then you won't have to mix with people who are of a higher class than you, as it obviously distresses you greatly.Maybe if you work really hard then one day you may be able to afford your own horse, you will then be able to to join the rest of the elite crowd and trek your way round the supermarket clad from head to foot in ****.
 
Last time I went into a supermarket *most* items of food were packaged (including alot of fruit and veg these days!), and us humans cooked the food at temperatures above 100degrees celcius before eating! (sp?)

Either way I could not care less about walking into a shop in my riding gear. Probably a lot cleaner than the amount of germs in the average person's kitchen!!! ;)

P.s. Horses poo is just plant matter, the good stuff that helps grow our food.... unlike in dog s***!!

Well it doesn’t do the cleanliness of the food end any good. This must contravene some ‘Health and Hygiene’ law, but yet they flout it. They have no shame in it.

Is there an element of ‘Look at me I’ve got a horse’?

So what, this is a modern country and we don’t use nags to pull a cart, plough a filed or ride to Banbury cross anymore.

And if they do ride on the public highway they probably haven’t got enough land to exercise the things on anyway, in comparison you wouldn’t be allowed to keep a greyhound in a maisonnette would you?

Or do they ride the things two abreast on the road to say ‘Look at me I’ve got a horse’?

So what, one of ‘them’ once shouted at me ‘Horses were on the road before cars’. True but that was before tarmac, road signs AND TAX DISCS. They may pay the road tax on their clapped out old Saab but that’s not enough. I have never seen one of them dismount (jump off to you and me) with a plastic bag and ‘pooper scooper’, or more appropriate for the size of animal a shovel and bin bag.

I guess the stable lad must be out of range.

Whatever the cry is ‘Tallyho’ or ‘And they’re off’ I say keep your boots and jodhpurs on your kitchen floor and not the supermarket aisle.

Comments welcome.

What a Pillock.

Get a life, pick your food up off the floor and wipe your nose. Honestly some people :rolleyes:

All I have to say is - whatever!

The old tax disc argument -blah blah blah.

I have seen far more unhygenic people in a supermarket then the horse people who are just trying to grab something on their way home.

No we are not trying to say 'look at me I have a horse' we are just trying to get things done.

You may wish to bear in mind that horse people keep the countryside going and help to prevent them from becoming building sites. Think about that when you are next enjoying a walk or a nice view.

Having said that you are clearly such a bitter twisted person that you probably sit in your house on the internet moaning and winding people up because you have no friends and no life.

See you Im off to ride my horse down the road and when it does a big poo on the road I will be sure to roll in it and then head to the supermarket!
 
If I went into a supermarket and all the food was on the floor, I would probably leave again tbh
And I don't DO tapdancing between the fruit & veg or anything bizarre like that, so what my boots & food have to do with each other I don't know? I don't pick things up with my feet either.......

Snobs who can afford to buy extra hours in the day that save a 20min run home to change clothes and then drag their tired and starving selves (after doing hours of hard work) should just pay for their shopping to be delivered I think..... yes, much better, can avoid all the common people who might happen to also want a meal on the table most nights Sorted!

And last time I checked, horse **** is a lot better for the environment than cars are Never heard of people being able to chuck exhaust fumes onto their roses... doubt it would go down well, would it?



AWESOME post lol
 
i love shopping after hot shoeing 6 horses on a wet day ,the smell makes everybody get out of my way and i can jump the queue allowing me to get down the pub quicker

Naw, more an element of "Help, I-stayed-at-the-yard-too-long-and-I-need-to-get-something-for-the-kids-and-the-husband-too-QUICK-run,-before-my-posh-snobby-neighbour-sees-me-in-my-holey-joddies-and-manure-covered-wellies-with-the-odd-socks-and-straw-in-my-hair-and-horse-snot-down-my-top! :D

Cracking post by the way.

Personally, I think we should all shower before we go to the supermarket, or perhaps as soon as we arrive, and get changed into diposably hygiene suits provided at the entrance to the supermarket. From there I think there should be a sanitising foot bath, an anti-bacterial alcohol hand rub and finally a mist of acid to burn off any pesky pollens we may have attracted in the process of getting changed. From there we should don our masks and gauntlets, have our emissions analysed, and if one had a curry the previous day one should wear a gas proof suit to avoid trumpage. Only once these sensible precautions are taken, should we enter the supermarket in order to do the 10 minute grocery shop.
