Aintree Marred By Drunken Brawling On Ladies Day

Well, given the shenanigans of the current Tory mob supposed to be governing it's no surprise that standards have dropped. Such wonderful role models.

These 'common' brawlers need Angels Rather to sort them out.

But then this kind of behavior has happened at Royal Ascot within sight of the late Queen.

A couple of glasses of cheap champagne and some of the blokes regress to their Caveman origins.

Didn't see or hear anything about it so it didn't mar it for me

How things change! In the old days National Hunt ‘goers’, because it was over the winter period and usually cold and wet, wore tweeds and sensible footwear! Never fur! To be replaced by pretty dresses and hats in the Flat Season….particularly RoyalAscot. It seems now that for both Meetings the introduction of strapless dresses…unsuitable shoes and vast amounts of alcohol are the norm!!

Aintree sadly is “marred” by the fact that 18 horses have died in the Grand National since 2000!

The Grand National is now just a glorified hurdle race. No horses fell this year.

how people can put these highly intelligent, magnificent, beautiful animals in danger defeats and saddens me.

Police Officers ride them into riot situations…

Ladies Day, not really ladies most of them. Just there to drink and wear clothes that don't leave much to the imagination!

..

I don't know about red shoes but I've never worn white stilettos (or boots) as my dear Nana told us that "only brides or prostitutes wear white footwear"!!

Don't know how she knew but she was, literally, a Lady (with a capital L!!) and maybe the William Hanson of her time!!

....... or one's imagination certainly doesn't want to go there!!

The people can behave as daft as they like (or as the course security will allow) but I was delighted to see that the big race ended without any death or injuries to the horses.
Some idiot said that the ‘thrill’ had gone out of the race, but what sort of person gets a thrill out of a lovely, trusting animal lying dead on a race course…

I have noticed a gradual decline in certain stratas of society over the last 15 or so years. People such as so-called reality stars have set the bar for standards very,very low,& unfortunately people try to copy them, in speech, dress and behaviour. Some of the people you refer to simply have no class, it's an epidemic alas! 🤔

Very much like the manager, sitting astride a dead racehorse for a photo of himself doing the v for victory sign.

As a young woman I thought common was when you showed too much leg and too much breast at the same time 😂. I was always taught one or the other never both. Not sure it applies today!!

For my registry office second wedding I chose a white silk blouse with designer skirt and jacket. A red hat and red shoes. A man outside the registry office commented on my elegant look. A lady serving in John Lewis told me she used to be a nurse and red and white meant death. Cheer me up do. I chose a pink bouquet to break the red and white. The shoe salesman said he always found red shoes to be tarty but liked the ones I chose. Me too. They weren’t bright red and were a beautiful soft leather.

When I was a child there was a saying ‘Red hat, no knickers’. I’ve never forgotten it and never had a red hat! I have red shoes though.

Just saying.

I adore my car to bar red shoes

I wore a navy and white outfit to a wedding with smart red bag, shoes and hat.

DH's Gran said "Red hat, no drawers" and I never wore the hat again!

Everyone's missing my point about red shoes.

Red shoes are fine, but worn with bright pink, green or yellow luminous socks? Would you?

No, no and never…

I think not.

I know someone who did 😁
Her sister was embarrassed and said she was common.
That was the point many posts ago.

There was a film called The Red Shoes years ago. 🙂

My mum's dictum was 'fur coat and no knickers'. She evidently had no beef about red shoes as she allowed me to have them for my first pair of heels. Little heels, in 1954, of course. I don't have any red shoes at the moment as I gave my red loafers to a charity shop just last year when they became too tight, but this has given me an idea: I'm sure I have seen some red trainers that look delightfully comfortable.

That was another one of DH's Grandmother.
It meant someone who showed off but really had nothing to boast about.

I wish I'd never mentioned the red shoes.

There is nothing wrong with red shoes. I've got red shows!!!
