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.

Could it have been Tom Felton?

Typical taurean. Is that how its spelled?

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

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

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 !

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.

Try Rupert Grint then?

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.

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 👩‍🏫😳

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.

NanKate Thu 29-Feb-24 11:27:06

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

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.

Not Marc Warren.
