I was looking for pictures to put in the '1986 in black and white' thread, and these are both from the wrong year, but seem like they'd fit on this thread

"..footage emerged of a mass brawl erupting at Ascot and onlookers were left running for cover as racegoers fought, just one week after up to 50 people were seen fighting at Goodwood."
Reminds me of that bit at the end of The Firm where the bunch of arseholes are bragging that after football they'll go to snooker, darts and the like to cause the same mither. I mean at *horse racing* though, wtf..
― piscesx, Sunday, 13 May 2018 22:42 (six years ago) link
the only people who go to horse racing at those places are city boys and posh boys. if you're in either position you're probably rich enough to get wasted at those drink prices, and probably also have a very high idea of your own superiority. perfect recipe for fisticuffs really.

iirc The Telegraph, etc, have a regular moral panic thing going on about the lower classes going to Ascot, dressing inappropriately, getting drunk, etc.

(xp) A lot of city boys are from the lower classes.
In order to lose some pounds of his massive body weight, the king came up with an ingenious idea: an all alcohol diet.

there is something pretty wrong with these people it's true, but maybe it's just like other kinds of exhibitionist fandom except in this case your idols don't actual do anything

yeah it did set me wondering how this differs, if at all, from e.g. queuing up for Wimbledon tickets or for I dunno, some hip young people's act such as Ed Sheeran. There is the toxic level of jingoism I suppose

Thing is, strip out the weirdoes and the tourists and the crowds at these royal events are never exactly impressive, despite the supposed obeisance of the GBP.

What could be more quintessentially Real England than walking down the street and having kids shout random shit at you? I was walking down the high street just now, two 14 year old lads went past me on bicycles, and as they passed one of them shouted "EURGH I WATCH GAY PORN!!!". I guess they were trying to insult me or intimidate me, but I cracked up laughing.

I was out with my son on a scooter ride the other day, and a young 'un from a gang of teenagers congregating outside the takeaway shouted: "Nice wheels, dickhead!". But I guess I am getting a bit old for playing out on scooters and took it in good humour!

Realness is so fickle. A golf buggy is in no way Real, but at the moment of theft it begins to assume a patina of realitude. By the time it reaches the McDonalds drive-thru it is wholly made of Real.

A prestigious private girls’ school has faced strong criticism after holding an “austerity day” where students dined on baked potatoes, beans and coleslaw.St Paul’s Girls’ School in west London was accused of being “tone deaf” after it tweeted about the charity fundraiser which saw staff and students eating “simple food” in place of the fare they are normally served.It said money saved on dinners at the £24,000-a-year school – whose former pupils include actors Rachel Weisz and Natasha Richardson – would go towards the school’s charities.
