I saw this on the BBC website, where two people in Manchester tried to use the McDonalds drive-thru on horseback. Initially, it raised a smile.
However, these days – and particular in places like Manchester – people seem to be sufficiently mentally challenged that they go too far without passing through any of the more traditional intermediate stages first.
In the story, a woman tried to order from the drive-thru lane at a McDonalds branch on horseback. Staff refused to serve her, no doubt because there are numerous food hygiene and safety regulations such food outlets are supposed to adhere to. But it then gets nasty. The pathetic Mancunian chavette in question decided to take her horse INTO the restaurant. That in itself is pretty bad, since even dogs are not allowed in there. But then the horse did the inevitable and dropped a load on the floor.
This was while people were eating, you understand. Can you imagine tucking into your lunch, only to have some vile little bitch drag a horse into the restaurant while you’re eating and allowing it to defaecate right next to you just because she’d not got her own way over something? I wish she’d been named in the story, because I’d happily repeat it here (edit: Her name was Christine McGrail – see the Mail story below).
To make matters worse, it appears that she may already have been allowed to breed. She was accompanied by a girl on a pony, who quite frighteningly could have been her daughter. Mind you, it is even more frightening to think that she could have been someone else’s daughter, having dangerously been left in the care of this example of the lowest caste of society.
The woman was issued with a fixed penalty notice by police. She should have been made to lick up the mess.
And the RSPCA should have been informed. First of all because she took a horse and pony to a McDonald’s outlet in the first place (they tend to be located in busy areas with major roads and lots of traffic, and the animals would almost certainly have been distressed), and secondly because she forced the horse through the electric doors into an enclosed space with irate and frightened people in it. The horse must have been terrified, and anything could have happened. She isn’t fit to own one.
As a footnote, the story has been picked up by various sources. This one is from Horsemart. Note the comments at the bottom – particularly the one from a so-called “Business Intelligence Developer”. The word “intelligence” is a classic example of an oxymoron given his opinion on the matter. What a prat.
More detail in The Telegraph (but still no names). It seems McDonalds staff merely asked her to tie the horse up outside – they just wouldn’t serve her whilst mounted in the drive-thru lane. This makes her even more of a vicious and seriously disturbed individual.
A-ha. Trust The Mail. The unfit parent in question was Christine McGrail. It seems that she allowed her daughter to take her pony inside – clearly, then, a deliberate act as she left her own full-sized horse outside. The imbecile admits she…
…acted ‘rashly’ after the pony opened its bowels in front of diners but claimed the treatment of horse riders was inconsistent.
Too right she did. An unfit mother who clearly coerced her daughter into leading a pony through the doors of a McDonalds restaurant, unfit to own a horse herself, and clearly dangerous to all when allowed outside without close supervision. An absolute mental case.
