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.
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!)
My family has lived in Essex since at least the 1500s. I moved back there when I remarried, until I retired. I don’t wear white shoes or fake tan either. Neither does my husband, who was born there and speaks ‘proper like’. I would be a bit worried if he wore fake tan or white shoes …
I was in Henley on Thames Waitrose today and I saw the employee who spoke to Russell Brand about this large Alsatian being in the store. 😳
I asked to speak to the employee as it was my first opportunity to see why RB, his friend who I still can’t identify and the dog were in the shop for so long. They did no shopping that I could see.
The employee said he had never heard of RB but did agree ‘eventually’ he was the one who spoke to him. He said he must have been shown a document which allows some dogs admittance. I’ve forgotten what he called the document.
They said I could speak to the Assistant Manager which I thought was a good idea, but then they said he was in a Meeting. I didn’t believe them.
I warned them that if RB came in again with his dog in my presence I would insist of speaking to senior management a ‘cause a fuss’ until he was removed. I told them I was of an age that I said what I thought and was not frightened of senior management.
Exactly a celeb or not rules are rules in my book and I would have complained but then I seem to be turning into a grumpy old woman these days🙈. I would not recognise a celeb I am sure and if I did I would treat them the same as anyone else in the store and expect them to respect shop rules!!
So wrong….my friend has one that peed in my house, I thought it was a one off but he did it again next time he visited. I don’t have a dog so he didn’t need to mark ‘his territory’. I bought some spray stuff and keep a beady eye on him now.
Pamelaj - gsm is correct - dogs bc don’t per o doors ~. Unless their owners haven’t trained them properly. My youngest dog is my 12th dog. None of them peed indoors by 12 weeks of age
