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.

Thank you.
I'll have a read now.

MissAdventure Tue 27-Feb-24 00:42:47

Ah, so just allegations then?
I wouldn't condemn someone unless they were charged.

This is an interesting read....

I’ve been trying to find the name of the other chap. I think he is an actor. He was small, blonde with an odd shaped head. 🙃

There will be a prize of a shopping session with RB for the first person who names the friend. 😀

Could it have been have been the little goblin Dobby?

The reason I recognised his companion was I had seen a photo of him a couple of days before and I remembered him because he had rather a strange look.

I don’t think they were actually buying anything just walking around laughing.

I’m frightened of some Alsatians but out of the three of them the Alsatian wins for being the most approachable.

None of the names so far are correct but well done for trying.

NanKate Tue 27-Feb-24 07:32:20

PS I suspect he will be some fringe comedian.

He looked a bit like Dobby in the Harry Potter films.

Joseann Tue 27-Feb-24 07:46:11

Comedian? Russell Howard?

NanKate Tue 27-Feb-24 07:53:52

No not Russell Howard he’s far too good looking.

Keep trying folks.

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

MissAdventure Tue 27-Feb-24 07:57:00

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.

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.

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 08:29:14

grin

NanKate Tue 27-Feb-24 10:56:59

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. 😎

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.

Callistemon21 Tue 27-Feb-24 11:01:32

Goading, waiting for someone to challenge them.

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.

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

And presumably a dog lover!

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?

NanKate Tue 27-Feb-24 11:14:28

No not Josh Widdicombe far too cute.

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

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

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

Callistemon21 Tue 27-Feb-24 23:10:04

Matt Morgan?
