I think all horsey people should be barred from supermarkets

I don't use my boots to pick the food up with...but how many people WASH THEIR HANDS before they pick up food (and I don't mean horsey people!)...I think people's general hygiene is VERY poor sometimes....MUCH worse than the odd bit of mud on a boot...no difference to people gardening etc and then going into the SM's.....
 
I think some people are far too easily wound up. Chill! It's just one person's opinion!

My dad (farmer) constantly moans about horsey people in "shi**y boots" in supermarkets. Yup, he goes home and showers before even going to the local garage for a paper. I get moaned at all the time. Does it affect me? no..........:p
 
I work 8am til 6pm with 23 horses, there is a supermarket on the way home where I can pop in and buy my dinner, I'm not going to drive all the way home, shower and change, then drive back to the supermarket to buy food. Not very "green" is it!!! As for riding 2 abreast, the highway code states that riders can, cyclists can't.

At the end of the day, if people dislike horsey people and horses on the roads....don't live in the countryside!!!! :D
 
Do you know what i once did.... (accidently but was quite pleased about it really) - i was travelling by train to Olympia..... i had mucked out 4 straw beds...... it was very cold..... i did not get changed...... i got on the 7.55 to London Euston full of very stuffy buisness men who glowered down their noses at me ...... i stood there and started to read my book on canabalism.... the heater came on in the carridge...i started to warm through.... there was on overwheelming stink of hoss p1ss (well to me it was hoss p1ss) but to everyone else they must have thought it was human..... the two young stockbrokerie types whom were fast asleep got rather a wide birth..... so i soon got a seat !

Other than that OP - just go and do one will you - and who really cares what you think !
 
I think the only people that should be banned from supermarkets are the idiots who stand with their trolleys right in front of the doorway looking gormless... that goes for people stopping in the aisles with their trolleys sticking out so no-one can get past too!

Welcome, and I'm with you. Now my OH is a lovely, kind, considerate and courteous girl, until that is, she gets into the steering position of a supermarket trolley. She will be half way up an aisle, remember that she needs something in a previous aisle, and then just dumps the trolley, generally cross ways, and wanders off!

She reverses, not looking where she's going, backs into others, and then glares at them! The real fun starts when she collides with a like minded spirit. It's so embarrassing!!

I once suggested to our local SM that they have a bar by the check out, so that those blokes who can't cope with the tedium of it all can go and have a quick pint. They didn't seem to think that it was such a good idea, on the grounds that they'd be encouraging the consumption of booze. Not the most balanced argument, when you think of the amount of cheap booze which they sell!

Alec, you realise that if supermarkets had bars then the "ladies" would be stacked up along it, trollies all over the place, supping a glass of vino to sustain them while they shop.

I was nearly thrown out of a Michelin starred restaurant a few years ago,I'd gone to pick up my gf from the yard, in my "never to be worn on the yard" RM Williams boots, but ended up in the loose box with her to administer medicine to her boy. Unfortunately he was rather a wet horse and at the time deep littered, half an hour later I was scrubbing my newbuck boots in the sink with shower gel to remove the stains and pee. Didn't have a chance for them to dry, so decided to wear them wet and went out for a "romantic" dinner with her. All went well until we were at the table when as they dried out they started to give out the pungeant eau de horse pee, fortunately the restaurant was far from full, but people were sniffing and looking around!

Not entirely the desired effect!

Stacked up? not at all. They can go and unload the shopping into the car, in a dutiful fashion, and then that done, they can rejoin their consort for a glass of wine, whilst he bolts another pint. The best bit is, that as he's had two pints, then she can drive home.

See? easy isn't it?
