I genuinely believed for a second that was me and my mates 15 years ago at Newbury races, could have been any number of race days.
Good to see the games not gone.
The icing on the cake is the faces of everyone in the background. 😅🤦🏼♂️
Pink dress lady’s shoes aren’t flattering imo
Edit: spelling
I have a theory of what happened…
“Oi, oi, it’s Steve Davis!”
*whack*
Horse racing is “fancy” if you are in a box
Everyone in this photo falls into the “chav playing dressup” category
I used to work at a hotel near one of the race courses. The big race days were definitely not posh. It was quite often just violent drunks in their best moss bross attire.
I got stitches one event for very politely asking one customer if he’d take his massive ostentatious cigar to the lounge rather than smoking it in the in smoking restaurant (where other customers were understandably getting pissed off)
I’ve been unfortunate enough to be on the same train as these people coming back from the races … most of them wouldn’t be let into the dog races cuz they’d bring them into disrepute.
Of all the people I’ve dealt with, when working trains, the horse racegoers are the absolute fucking worst. Leaving their empty bottles of cheap prosecco on the tables, flouncing around and braying like idiots, moaning about everything.
Then, on the way back, after a day outside drinking, acting like entitled arseholes, sluring their words while arguing with me about how they did have a ticket, but they’ve lost it and pretty please, can I just let them get home? No ticket, no travel. Buy a new one or get the fuck off my train. And I’m not your pal or mate either.
Rather have a bunch of footy fans on board. At least they’re civil and tidy up after themselves.
Two on one, brave.
Just one pic but I’d love to the video of it.
See it all the time at races and clubs, cheap suits no class, in the end with the dregs and carlinh/foster people. Don’t get me wrong arsenal holes everywhere but I try and steer clear of them.
