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.

Not Tom Felton but there is a slight resemblance to the person I saw. Keep going.

Try Rupert Grint then?

I can remember when the only assistabce dogs were guide dogs for the blind. Then dogs began to be trained to fetch and pick up things for people with mobility issues or to antipate possible danger or risk to their owner.

Now there is a much wider interpretation of"assistance" dogs to include those who provide emotional assistance or support for owners with various MH or behavioural issues.

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 !

You still on the case, Cagney? grin

Yes, Lacey

I don't give up easily. 🙂

Could it have been Tom Felton?

Matt Morgan?

Russell Brand should be muzzled. I thought dog were not allowed in the supermarkets unless they are guide dogs?

If it had been the monster Putin I would have gone and kicked him in the unmentionables 😳, stamped all over him and called his a murdering bas***d and then with the help of the Waitrose staff, we would have dropped him in the Thames weighted down with a shopping trolley.

I’m quite a peaceable person usually. 😎

Come on now, NanKate, don’t hold back. grin

No not Josh Widdicombe far too cute.

I don’t think I would be any good at identifying someone in a police line up 🧐

MissAdventure Tue 27-Feb-24 11:13:41

Oh yes, good point.
Maybe we should pull Widdecombe in for questioning, see if he has an alibi?

Joseann Tue 27-Feb-24 11:12:22

And presumably a dog lover!

MissAdventure Tue 27-Feb-24 11:04:14

I'm sure Josh isn't goady.
So, we have the following leads in this investigation.
Our suspect is 5ft 9ish.
Blond.
Funny shaped head.
Believed to be a goader.

I don’t think they were actually buying anything just walking around laughing.
Goading, waiting for someone to challenge them.

Josh Widdecombe!
I must be right; I'm sure I am.

Oh no, surely not! I like Josh.

If he's a friend of RB I've gone right off him.

So I googled “Who looks like Dobby in Harry Potter?”, and the most popular answer was…..Vladimir Putin. Was it him?

MissAdventure Tue 27-Feb-24 08:10:07

Oh yes, that's him.
Thank you.
I'm sure he had his hair blond and quiffy the last time I saw him.

Oh, or the guy with a leg missing, and bits or all of his hands?

That's Alex Brooker isn't it? Maybe?

Anyway, I need to walk a dog now.
