Has been for years. Whilst horse racing has the perception of exclusivity and poshness due to its connections with royalty and I'm sure still does retain some pockets of monied exclusive groups tucked away in VIP areas and their own venues.... ......for the masses its just another excuse for a day out and a booze up. It's always being a haunt for bus loads of Primark suits and New Look ill-fitting dresses all wearing ridiculous hats whilst they spend their day lounging around on the grass in the sun, throwing a couple of quid down on the horse with the most amusing name they can find, getting tanked up on expensive beers and plastic cups of cocktails. Appearance is just that and clothes don't make the man. You could take the chavviest rough arse family in the world shove them in some suits and they would have the appearance of being respectable. Equally, a man could walk into the poshest bar in town, wearing some baggy jeans and threadbare t-shirt who turns out to be extremely wealthy, well educated and civilised. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slighty batty Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 My paternal grandma always used to dress like Hyacinth Bouquet. Cashmere twin sets or silk blouses, a nice little suit from Jaeger or Windsmoor, or a dress with a matching jacket. Expensive Italian shoes with matching handbags, a pearl necklace naturally, and her outfits were never complete without a matching hat or silk scarf, and of course the matching gloves. One day we’d gone out into Derbyshire for Sunday lunch at a pub, and were in a crowded, hot bar waiting for our table to come free. Suddenly grandma passed out and crashed to the floor. We brought her round and asked her what had happened, to which she replied “I realised that I was going to faint, and so I adjusted my hat.” Now most people, if they thought they were going to faint, would call out for fresh air, or a chair and a glass of water…. But not grandma. If she was going to faint, with all eyes on her, she was going to do it looking stylish with her hat firmly in place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
