MTB is banned. I blame the parents.
On a completely unrelated note did anyone else have snotty little kids as milk monitors at school?
No but there was this one little facetious helmet who would walk around the class saying how boring school had become and at least his attendance brightened up the place whilst managing to generally insult the rest of the classmates.On a completely unrelated note did anyone else have snotty little kids as milk monitors at school?

I did a very similar rant in BB years ago. The central premise of my argument was that having non bikers comment on biking things is quite annoying. As I don't comment in the watch section because I SFA about what is a good one, neither should someone with no knowledge of biking spout s
te about it. True enough, every is allowed an opinion but without experience, where is the validity? And without validity, you're just clogging the place up. Cant find the thread now, which is just as well. I'm much less militant these days.

Anyone?
Don't know. I ride my motorbike every day to work (winter and summer), so fill up once a week or so. I always take my helmet off before paying for petrol. I usually take it off as soon as i get off the bike, but in the depths of winter I might take it off as I walk into the shop.Just feels rude not to take it off really. And mine (Schuberth full-face) takes less than 10 seconds to put back on again so it hardly onerous.

Would say you're very much in the minority though. Just feels rude not to take it off really. And mine (Schuberth full-face) takes less than 10 seconds to put back on again so it hardly onerous.
Fair enough regarding full face helmets, it's store policy after all.
But front flip, thats kind of taking the biscuit.
It's not law either to remove your helmet, just store policy, so they can only refuse to serve you or refuse you access to the store.
To then demand that you remove the helmet and then hem you in with multiple members of staff until you remove it after a) they refuse to serve you, and then b) you deciding that you no longer want to buy the item and want to leave the store peacefully, is tantamount to a worthwhile complaint to Morrisons customer care.

Probably a bit of stretch complaining, but personally i prefer to let people know when they are doing something good or bad - it all adds up.

I'm with the store on not wanting people in their stores wearing helmets, irrespective of whether they are full, flip or pisspot ones.
There has to be more to this story than we're being told. I can't imagine 7 staff just surrounding him for no reason, Prather than the helmets. Maybe some words were exchanged at the checkout.
