B****Y MIDDLE CLASSES !

[wavingfuriously]

so here's the thing, having a major whinge to all daytime idlers out there bless you lol..

Been going on this walking club on and off since 2004, nice people, lovely countryside.. suddenly all this anger comes out of nowhere towards me because I have started for the last 18 months to take a little terrier out with me. Dog needs exercise and I can't own a dog where I'm living so...good arrangement, happy days only one day a week so fine.

Some of these peeps are angry because of perceived minor annoyances due to dog: danger that he might actually look at them while they are pigging out on posh foodie grub (has never happened) shock horror that he might run occasionally and maybe bark at the odd bird or two

All this discontent because their cosy selfish spoilt routine is viewed as being in danger of being disrupted.

What do I do about their attitude please ? Can i ever change it or are they too set in their cosy selfish attitudes ? Its also crazy because the dog is under control at all times and is a really sweet boy

Expect many of you have encountered these kinds of attitudes for one reason or another. Fight or walk away ?
cheers

Eh? Just the upper class and the lower orders who like dogs then.

Border collies and border terrorists fit the quirky definition
Afghans are definitely posh dogs
Setters all have SEN and need additional support

shut up - you got the MC discontent lurgy mate ?

it is well behaved dogs are welcome and this dog is very well behaved that is really why i'm posting about it ...no comprendo

yes but i can't fathom why its really odd

If no other dogs go, there's probably a reason for it, and you should have checked before bringing one.

if other dogs go without any complaints and you are getting complaints the chances are very high that it's your dog being a problem.

Who in the club is saying you can't bring it? What are their reasons?

the club has always allowed dogs

I'm lost.

well one MC said she didn't want the dog looking at her while she scoffed her meal ! that's never happened

Some are 'foodies' hmm..

Did you turn up at the walking group pissed today and they're looking for a polite way to tell you not to come back?

yep or just plain old bullying fussy MCs

Ditch the terrier and take a brown Labrador instead?

so am I

ha ha haa!! no it all went on yesterday and i was sober, maybe should of had a stiff drink at lunch though

Are they daytime idlers because they're available to go on daytime walks organised by this club? Why aren't you a daytime idler then?

Dogs don't have class. That is reserved for cats and they are all upper class.

i'm saying if walking club consisted of good old salt of the earth working class peeps none of this nasty undercurrents would have happened ...the middle classes somehow aren't as straightforward as vocalising their complaints..

Whats happening here? Huh?

It doesn't sound as if you even like these people - your posts about them have a nasty, sneering tone.

I am a daytime idler am using mumsnet in the middle of the afternoon - just like you

no i really did like those people
