LaraCroft 863 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 They do your head in don't they - what an annoying and unnecessary thing for him to do. Some people have nothing better to do than cause hassle for people. Good on you for keeping your temper - I'm not sure many would have - me included. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonah. 775 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 as much as it boils the piss, you did exactly the right thing, huntings on the back foot in this country as we all know, best not to add fuel to anyone's fire. i'd make a point of getting in his personal space next time you see him at the hunt, give the "good morning how are you?", kill em with kindness.

whippet 99 2,613 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 while he was screaming at you,you should have asked for some permission of him just to see his reaction ive done that before ,........try arguing with a farmer over what ground he owns,.....only i can do that.....lol when one farmer says its his land you can help yourself on it ......well you take there word for it ...lol and then another farmer follows you around and then you tell them to feck off there own land ,...it dont go down too well and then i had the cheek too ask if he wants me too sort some of the game out on it ........like i said they all think they own everything,.......but it was a classic and very embarrasssing... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greatwhitehunter 47 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 stereotyping is everywhere in society. same if you see a fella walking a pitbull u assume hes a thug. or if hes walking a pink poodle youd think he was gay . i think the branding is most noticable with lurchers, it always has been its a mouching dog, originally bred by gypsys and poachers, unfortunately it isnt going to change anytime soon, so chuck on your rigger boots and flat cap have done with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
