    Sorry JD I just got a bit touch about Marc’s wording that racists look for excuses and guess it held over a bit because I can’t stand racism and wanted to be clear.

    Just to clarify, I wasn't suggesting for one second you were being racist. I was just using the backstory you mentioned, as an example of how people use those things to hide behind. I can see how you might have taken it the wrong way - soz about that.

    In the daily mail article posted earlier from years back you can see that one of them has a mocked up driving licence with 'Alabama' as the place of birth. One of the most depressing things about it is how clever they obviously think they're being.

    This evening, Will and I went to a pub near us and took Betsy with us as usual. A guy, who we have seen once before, came out from the kitchen whilst we were eating and offered us water for Betsy. He then hung around talking despite the fact we were in the middle of our food and kept fussing Betsy so we had to keep trying to calm her down. He said he’d just changed his religion to *some word I didn’t hear properly*. When we made a noncommittal noise (we’d heard this before and didn’t know what to say last time either) he said it means that he hates all humans ‘no matter what race, colour, sex, gender or creed and just likes dogs’. We half laughed out of politeness and cringe. He then said that he has two black labs and he’d ‘better not say the name of one of them but it’s named after Guy Gibson’s dog’. We didn’t know who that was and had no interest in talking to him so I told Betsy to settle again and he finally wandered off (hopefully to wash his hands as she licked them to death). We looked it up when we got home as we suspected there was a reason he specified a black dog and said he couldn’t say the name and yes, you guessed it, the dog is called the N word.

    A few weeks ago he said the exact same speech when we took a white lab apart from he didn’t mention (or we didn’t pick up on) that his dogs were black and we didn’t really catch the person’s name who he said one was named after so didn’t think anything of it that time. He clearly thinks he’s funny/clever as he goes out of his way to tell people (he obviously didn’t recognise us and that he’d said it before).

    I wouldn't want to eat in a place where a bloke who may be involved in the preparation of food hates all humans.

    Unfortunately you can't fix stupid. We have recently been staying with her brother in Southampton and my wife went into a charity shop andthe wan who was working there was talking to another customer and she was saying that she doesn't like it when ethnic minorities (not her exact words, but I have been polite) come in as they always try to haggle on the price. The customer them very loudly told a very racist joke, at which the shop worker laughed. This was all going on whilst the shop had an Asian and woman of colour in there. My wife raised her concerns with the worker and we reported the incident to the charities HQ. Absolutely not the right person to be working in a charity shop, and goes against everything they stand for and what me and my wife believe in.

    He looked less than hygienic too. I’m pretty sure he covers his hands in something before coming over to someone with a dog as both Betsy and Kassie were absolutely licking his hands to death. Betsy does like to lick people and is still very new in her training so it wasn’t that surprising (although she was going crazy with it) but Kassie was doing the same and she is not like that. It made me feel a bit sick.

    Or might not wash his hands after fussing a dog before preparing food!

    TBF I prefer dogs to most humans

    In the interest of transparency, I'm not too keen on dogs either.
