Offtopic slightly (and I agree with you ref taking helmet off so don't kill me!) but what the hell does custard mean? Someone literally posted 'custard' on my thread and I've never seen that on a forum before 
If you doubt a poster that's making a claim you ask for custard in a photo as proof that this is him, his car. Lap time etc
tely painted helmet?This has been better than the usual petrol pump hissy fit, and as usual MTB rises to the challenge of how many members can he verbally abuse in one day. Top marks, and well targeted.
In this day and age of helmet cams, it's a pity that the OP wasn't using one, as it would be hugely embarrassing to Morrisons to have that exchange shown on YouTube. As far as security staff go, if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Of course it's not against the law to wear a helmet in a supermarket, I'm not sure where he dredged that one up from, but the standard response from Morrisons might be an apology if you're lucky, followed by a statement that the staff will be "retrained". Personally I would rather have them restrained, but that's only my opinion.
It's fair to say that when confronted by a jobsworth, you can bet your flip front that common sense and discretion are foreign concepts, so any attempt at reason will elude them. Ask them "why?" is usually answered by "because".
I hope that the OP writes to Morrisons, both to complain about his treatment, and for clarification of their policies. Copies of his original letter and their response to be published in BB please.

Perhaps you're too stereotypically PH to visit a supermarket but you will find they all have security guards stationed at the entrance/exit.
....
All? Blimey, where do you live? ....
It's also on the door step of one of the largest petrochem sites in the UK and on the main Glasgow to Edinburgh railway line so is reasonably affluent.
I'm trying to think of a supermarket I've been in that doesn't have security at the door, perhaps Waitrose in Stirling but I might have just not noticed.

Custard, you've never been in Waitrose. You're thinking of Lidl.
I can assure you it's quite the opposite.I've never been in Lidl. Or Aldi.
Also how the f
k will I have a picture of me in Waitrose holding a tin of custard?Ask your Mum if you don't believe me.
In fact we got that pishy wee Christmas tree from Waitrose last year.

A forum member with an opinion.k are you...Not happy you have two choices, i'll let you work them out.
k-er?I tell you what, f
k off to other parts of PH I am sick to fk fed up of the typical wker that posts elsewhere on this forum butting in on a BB section because they feel like their opinion matters, it doesn't you don't ride now fk off.I don't know if its a jealously thing, because if you ask everyone of them the answers usually are that they hate bikers which means.
