Going into shops wearing Wellingtons

California Man

Oh my god. This has to be the most ignorant thing ever.. I can't believe how common it is in this country. Probably not so much in the cities, but it's rife in the countryside. Would you see it anywhere else in the world? :rolleyes:

Have a bit of respect for owner of the premises please, and a bit of respect for yourself.

Some wellingtons can be clean, but others can be filthy. The farmers stopping in their tractors for an ice cream cone. Not a bother in the word. Have a five minute chat with the shop assistant too.

Can they not bother to bring a pair of clean shoes in the vehicle and change beforehand? It would literally take 30 seconds.

I dunno, last time I tried to take off a pair of wellies it took up all of 1989.

Just read on this very forum that people actually wear Pyjamas in the cities here. On this very forum if you don't believe me.

Logical Fallacy

It's an important issue OP, well done for being brave enough to bring it up.

Bad one! Be a shame to get paint on your (presumably) spotless wellies.

There's something about this thread. The OP has just signed up to Boards to complain about farmers wearing wellies. Who the hell signs up to a forum to complain about that??

It's not a real farmer until he's sharing his 99 cone with a border collie called Shep.

Because it's disgusting. I see your location is Dublin. Did you ever encounter this behaviour in the capital of Ireland?

Pete M.

Shur jaysus some of us only have the 2 pairs of footwear.

The work wellies and the good wellies.

Winklepickers no good in a wet field I'll have you know.

Dublin is the home of this behaviour my good man. Why else do you think we have a monument to Wellies?

A real man don't change his wellies for no one

Well, never in Dublin but when I'm back home, yes. Nobody seems to care though.

Really must get a decent pair of wellies...

Go raibh maith agat for your answer Rolli. Do your wear a pyjamas in the city?

I worked with an Italian bird who wore wellies in the office - this was in Dublin. No one ever asked her why she wore them. Never once stepped into the office with runners or leather shoes. ALWAYS wellies - no matter what the weather was.

An Italian bird in an office wearing clean wellingtons boots would be sexy as anything.

An Irish farmer in a country shop with a smell of cow manure is absolutley not the same thing.

Sure the wellies covered in dung are still probably cleaner than the youth of Dublin wear, walking around in that filthy place.

Op why do you hold a grudge on the humble wellie?

Yes I saw it a couple of times on the South Island of New Zealand. Although they often have signs up prohibiting wellies (or gumboots, as they call them) at the entrance to shops and pubs.

Country shop? Cows manure? Wellimgton boots? Your not irish anyway. :pac:






What are you going to call wellies next, puddle busters.

Nothing against the wellington boot. I use them fishing myself..

It's the fact they have no respect for anyone. Totally oblivious to anything around them.

Would you walk into someone's home wearing them? A shop is no different. Actually it should be more hygienic if anything.

Yep. Happens a lot where I'm from.

Arrah go way and don't be bothering us.
Some of us have got turf to cut. Just go home Yank!

You're a welly

Davidson2k9

So you want them to take off their wellies and walk around in their socks that are probably covered in bits of straw?
