I didn’t think dogs were allowed in Waitrose 😳

I was shopping in a large Waitrose today in Henley on Thames. Two men were in the store with a large Alsatian, not a guide dog. One of the Store personnel was talking to them and I assumed there were being told to leave the store, however this didn’t happen.

On looking closer at the chap in the woolly hat I realised it was Russell Brand and another chap who I recognised but can’t name.

No one challenged him, maybe they didn’t dare.

He is an essex sleb.
I just googled famous essex men and found him.
I'd never heard of him either, but he seems to fit our profile. (Well, better than Helen Mirren does!)

George Rains?
I can't upload a pic, I seem to have lost the ability.

Who?

Perhaps it was his dealer?

He only looked about 20 so those names are out I’m afraid.

Sorry - Marc Warren had already been suggested.
What about -
John Simm?
Martin Freeman?

I don't really know any slebs these days.

I wonder if it could be one of the Essex slebs, what with Russell being from Grays?

Marc Warren??

I just looked him up, and his age is 56.
Is that too old for our suspect?

Well, he's a lot younger than Helen Mirren (who doesn't have an oddly shaped head either) and, last time I saw her, was female.

Bear with me on this one, but could it have been Helen Mirren?

She is such good friends with Russell that he calls her mummy Helen, so I read.

Prime Suspect then!

She must be totally deluded if she is a pal of RB 🤪

"And you haven't got a funny shaped head, darling. Tell her she should have gone to Specsavers"

I’m glad his mum is caring for him. To be honest I may have got the head thing wrong, it’s just the photo I saw of him (for just a few seconds gave me that impression) but when he was in Waitrose I was more concentrating on RB and hoping he would behave himself. I wonder what RB was like at school, I bet he chatted up the French Teacher 👩‍🏫😳

Typical taurean. Is that how its spelled?

Yours was the only sign I guessed right, I think.

I’m picturing the mother of whoever it was being a Gransnetter and following this thread then giving him an ear bashing. “ How many times have I told you don’t let RB lead you astray and stay out of the bl***y supermarket with the dog !

"And you haven't got a funny shaped head, darling. Tell her she should have gone to Specsavers" 🤬

Not Rupert Grint

Alexa tells me Tom Felton looks a bit like Ryan Gosling. Or Miley Cyrus.

I’m not sure either of them would be ambling round Waitrose with Russell Brand. And I’ve always thought our Alexa was a bit mad.
