have not read the whole thread.....

i saw two young women in Sains (eeek i shop there!) in their PYJAMAS!

now that looked just as twattish as jodphurs.

and yes,i see jodphurs at my local Waitrose and it is NOT in the most salubriuos of areas.

FairLadyRantALot · 15/03/2009 18:30

rofl moose...but sure jods aren't as unsuitable as nakedness under pinny ....

stuffitllama · 15/03/2009 18:32

dd1 was wearing her purple and pink jodhpurs in Morrisons yesterday.Supermarket is on way home from riding school,so I refuse to waste petrol driving 12 miles out of my way so she can get changed,plus dh wanted to get home in time for the footie.

Best not shop in our local town on horse sale day-it's wall to wall in jodhpurs and ridin g boots.

yabu. start shopping in netto, you won't see many jodphur wearers in there

I dunno, our Netto has a fair few jodphur wearers but then so does everywhere down our High Street.

DesperateHousewifeToo · 15/03/2009 20:22

YABU.

Unless she had tethered her horse in an parent and child or disabled parking bay outside

Would definitely prefer the smell of horse to many other smells in my supermarket.

What a judgemental op.

Imagine berating the clothes of "the sort that shop in Asda".

Or, would you snigger about people wearing riding gear in Asda in the same way?

What is it with some people and their preconceptions....

Pixel · 15/03/2009 20:27

Our Tesco is built right next door to a riding school, and the riding school was there first so what can they expect?

I wear my Jodhs there all the time, and yes sometimes the purple ones my mum bought me for Christmas! I don't see why I should get changed just to pop in there for 5 mins (my boots aren't dirty, I change them for driving), and I'm hardly going to go all the way home, change and drive back to the shop. What a waste of petrol.

Anyway, they are only jodphurs, I've been subjected to worse sights when shopping.

Ledodgy · 15/03/2009 20:30

ROFL the title has really tickled me!

lowenergylightbulb · 15/03/2009 20:36

Aren't most jods nowadays very similar to leggings?

I sometimes go to waitrose after I've walked the dog wearing a waxed jacket, leggings and my hunter boots.

Try and twat me and I'll shove an avocado up your arse!!

nomoreamover · 15/03/2009 20:37

PMSL!

YANBU - notice how it only happens in waitrose tho - not tesco!

FairLadyRantALot · 15/03/2009 21:48

lol at desperate and lelb

twinsetandpearls · 15/03/2009 21:52

We often do our shop in wellies and dd can often be seen wandering around town in her purple jodhpurs.

Goober · 15/03/2009 21:57

@ somebody who uses Waitrose also using the word TWAT!!

(Can you tell I shop at Lidl?)

GetOrfMoiLand · 15/03/2009 22:04

Tesco which I used to shop in always had people strolling around in Jodhpurs etc, there was a stable just up the road.

Not strange at all.

Is a bit strange that people think horsey people = braying and/or pretentious upper classes. Not true, I grew up in the country and all sorts of people are horsey.

blossomsmine · 15/03/2009 22:08

Blimey....jodhpurs, waitrose and CHAPS!!!! How the other half live, hey!!

I grew up with horses, never had a pair of chaps!!

poshwellies · 15/03/2009 22:11

We have jod's in Tescos here too (and co-op)-we be out in sticks though,all normal attire.

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 15/03/2009 22:17

My bf is v horsey and not at all braying/pretentious.

I once went into Tesco's after training wearing my gi.Some pillock did a karate kid-style move and noise at me.

So I kicked him in the head gave him a Paddington Bear stare for daring to make an assumption about me and my lifestyle.

'Tis dangerous to make assumptions based on clothing.

liath · 15/03/2009 22:24

My mum used to pick me & my sisters up from school in jodhpurs. They were always filthy and she'd be wearing a really tatty barbour jacket with bits of hay & baling twine falling out of holes in the pockets.

It was horrible , the three of us were SO embarassed, we used to beg her to stay in the car but she'd always get out and come looking for us.

We laugh about it now....sort of!

deste · 15/03/2009 22:28

My DD graduated in a very beautiful cathedral, most parents were dressed for the occasion but a car drew up and out got a family in hiking boots, shorts and straw sunhats. I never did find out whose parents they were.

Pixel · 15/03/2009 22:31

The thing is, my mum bought my purple jodhs in Tesco! You don't get that sort of thing in Waitrose .

alicecrail · 16/03/2009 14:03

Pixel I have a pair of too tight purple jods that i wear all the time and i do wear them to waitrose, it was probably me the op saw!!
