I think all horsey people should be barred from supermarkets

Car tax does not pay for roads, it pays for the right to drive a car.

COUNCIL TAX pays for the roads. I pay council tax.
 
Personally I think all old gits in supermarkets should be banned from giving lecherous stares to girls in breeches and boots while said girls go about their business buying supper and polluting the place![/QUOTE]

Drat-you spotted me:D Looks like it's Tesco.com from now on!

An anagram of Darius Stretch is "Cid A*se Thrust"-so if that IS your real name it's understandable you're going to be a bit p*ssed off...
 
To go back to the problem, i.e. horsey people in supermarkets with poo on their shoe & smelly joddys etc; this is difficult if you're rushed and on the way back from the yard, but what I did was to go into a charity shop and bought a pair of oversized trousers (men's trousers, anything, will do ....) and keep them in the car so's if I'm horsey & smelly I've got a spare pair of something reasonably clean to stick on top of jods, plus an old T-shirt or something, that's clean, plus a pair of trainers.

Its not an expensive fix and you won't look particularly elegant, but at least it means you're not gadding about the supermarket looking like you're bringing the horse in!!! plus if you do stink, only you will know why coz all your smelly clothes and sweaty armpits will be hidden.

Just an idea ....
 
Oh my god, like someone dressed in riding gear is the worst thing I've seen and I WORK in a shop when I'm home from uni!!
I've seen;
a chav shoving things down his trousers (he was caught)
a kid drooling over some chocolate and putting it back (it was put in waste)
smelly people
pervy people
screaming kids
elderly people who want to count out £34.57 into my hand with their life savings in 2ps with a queue behind them of 48 people
mechanics covered in oil
people with really greasy hair (ick)
people nipping in to get a bottle of water on the way home from a run...I'll leave that one to you :rolleyes:
...would you like me to carry on?
tbh a little bit of a horse whiff is the least of my worries during my shifts!

I make a point of going to the supermarket/hospital/beauty salon (yes I'm serious OP!)/wherever in my horse stuff, 'cause as said time and time again I'm not going to go home to get a shower, get changed and go back out!!
Oh, and btw OP I don't drive a clapped out old Saab, I drive an '03 Peugeot, nor am I a snob, or a toff or whatever, nor am I rich - mainly because my money goes on beastie! :D
Get over yourself and go and get a life - why join a horsey forum just to post an anti horsey thread?????

At least you've given us all a good laugh!! Now I'm off to clean my poo covered boots..on second thoughts...*clicks fingers* Butler???!! :rolleyes::D
 
Hang on, post title says "all horsey people should be barred from supermarkets".

So here's my question: are we banned at all times, or only when in our horsey gear? For example, if I turn up clean and fragrant in jeans and a t-shirt, will I still be frogmarched out by burly security men? How will they identify me as a horsey person? Am I to have it tattooed on my forehead so I can be more easily excluded from society? And, most pressingly, does this mean I'll have to buy my toilet roll in the local newsagent where it's unbelievably expensive, or will I be barred from there as well?

Not that I like poking holes in idiots' arguments or anything ... :p
 
before i became disabled i used to love going into shops smelling to high heaven of horse poo, wee, haylege and feed :) gets you through the lines at the till quicker! and clears the isles pretty quick too ;) :p

Now my dad has to go in for me when we dont have my wheelchair with us (he is also disabled but at the moment he can still walk alrightish), and he too smells bad from helping me with my horses! its a team effort :) and theres no way we could afford the petrol to go home and get changed before going to shops, and here in wales our nearest supermarket is like, 10-15 miles away! so we have to go on our way to/from the yard, what should we do, bring a change of clothes and get changed in the car park? :rolleyes: and we cant afford to get our shopping delivered either..

i've never had any complaints off anyone in the shops, although we do get some funny looks! :rolleyes: :p

:D

I shop on the internet which is sooooooo liberating as now I never ever ever have to go to the supermarket and see all the smelly, disgusting excuses for humantiy which go there.
 
Rofl at who we all would ban from supermarkets!

So far we've had old people, fat people, children , babies, chavs, horse riders, famers, fishermen, mechanics, hospital patients, finger lickers etc etc...

Reminds me of who people would ban from driving..

Boy racers, girl racers, old people, sunday divers, women, white van man, middle lane drivers etc etc

These lists are funny :p
 
Loving this thread! I used to go into shops after washing the stinky wee-encrusted buck goat at the farm where I worked, THAT sure made the queues disperse, I can tell you! Anyway, I love going into Tesco as horse poo/filth covered as possible, just to spite them for; a, selling me a kebab with a chewed up glove in it, b,shouting at me when I wanted my money back when the passport booth didnt work c, selling me flowers that smelt of dead mackerel and d, accusing me of pinching a bottle of Baileys when they had just forgotten to take the tag off :-p
 
Is he back again?

New alias.

Surely if your new found country-living life is that boring and insulting to you...maybe go back to the city ;)

Don't forget the snobs, toffs, posh people, people with butlers and/or clapped out old Saabs too!! (OP's suggestion I think!)

And Binky...I think it would do us all a favour if OP, whomever it may be, would go off back to the city!!!! We wouldn't offend them so much then..... ;)
 
I'm really sory but "we horsy people" do ride at the side of the road.
The onyl reason we ride two abreast is when the inner horse is either nervous or prone to leaping in front of cars.
What do you want us to do..... totter along the top of the bloody hedgerow?
 
i wish you wouldnt type darius as it lowers the iq of the whole forum. our local supermarket which i live opposite also have a riding school nearby and it has more horsey people in it then anything else.

i think ignorant people should be banned from life.

people pay for my mares poo and honestly darling i was going to explain more but i dont understand what you dont understand as i cant imagine what rubbish goes through your brain.

i am only 20 and have brough my first horse for 5000 with my own money. so suck my ****. i saved and now im blissfully happy. ill walk my princesses ***** whereever i want its worth more then u r


sorry about that. (everybody else). i feel much better now
 
but where would we buy our food from?? Would we be allowed in when we were dressed up in our regular clothes or not at all?
 
Hats off to OP for sparking off such a funny post.. come on, you can't think it was serious!

My one "draw the line" was going to a supermarket on a hot day to see a man exiting with his shopping - overweight and shirtless. Now that is disgusting because he would have been allowing his sweaty body near the food.

Shopping was done at another supermarket!
 
Now, I'm all for a bit of horse smell, that, together with Jeyes fluid, and petrol is one of my little foibles... but... farriers should be banned from petrol stations. Mine was queueing behind me yesterday to pay for his fuel, and my GOD I could smell him before I even turned round and realised it was him. Burning horn is NOT a good smell when you're not expecting it - however, I don't mind at all when Im standing holding my chap to be shod! Weird innit!

Whats worse than that though is that I saw one of the staff. She was severely overweight sat down at one of the checkouts with her belly hanging out of the bottom of her uniform shirt and she absolutely stunk.

I'm refused to queue at her till and filled out a comment card as I felt it was disgusting.

Then the other day was at another supermarket as as I reached out for a fresh loaf of bread I got a look at the staff that were working behind the scenes baking my bread...I will not be buying my fresh bread from that supermarket ever again!
 
I think the majority of horsey people have a sense of humour failure...

And tbh you're all shopping wrong/in a ridiculously small shop if someone who smells of horse/wee/BO is all you can smell... why don't you move to a different area? Or suck it up and deal with it for the 20 or so mins... :p
 
I went on a recce visit during lunchtime and can now report back as follows:

Old people or other economically inactive people to be banned from supermarkets and post offices between 12-2pm and after 5pm.

Sportswear to be banned in public unless you have actually been playing sport or intend to play it in the next few hours or so .

People who cannot walk at a decent speed to be consigned to a special 'slow lane' on the pavement.

Anyone using the 'C' or 'F' word as their only adjective to be immediately consigned to the stocks for an afternoon.

This should go some way to alleviating pressure on those who have errands to run during their lunch hour and will have the added benefit of meaning many horsey folk can do their shopping then and not have to go after the yard! Result

Fabulous! Way to go Combat-Claire. Can we just add a couple more? :

Anyone visiting a supermarket for the purpose of perving at girls in breeches and boots to be immediately confined to the stocks.

Drivers who are not horse people and therefore unlikely to be able to park their 4x4 in less than half an hour should be banned from driving such vehicles in supermarket car parks unless they hold a valid exclusion certificate.

LOL
