How dare you laugh at those lovely people!
*stifles s****s*
We're getting to be quite a fat country aren't we.
On the other hand, nasty bit of snobbery from The Telegraph...
Used to watch the crowd going to and from "Ladies Day" at Musselburgh racecourse, it was like My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding on acid...
The staggering return trip was a sight to behold... ripped clothes, lost shoes, fights that stopped the traffic... top entertainment.
So they chose not to show the lookers then....
That last one is just meant to be "look at the chavs"
I think the whole point of the OP is "look at the chavs".
I've been to a few Ladies Days at Royal Ascot. Has to be said, you get a different "type" of Lady at that venue for sure. I would hazzard a guess, in the main, it's due to the Location of these racecourses.

relative the the concentration of Greggs shops.it's due to the Location of these racecourses.
I was in the nearly-north yesterday and the BP garage had a Greggs [i]AND[/i] a Costa. Is it indicative of the slow creep of civilisation northwards or southwards? 🙂
According to the Daily Telegraph :
it was suggested punters may have been put off by photographs in previous years of women wearing risque clothing
So it's people who haven't been previously but have read articles in newspapers, such as the Telegraph, who have been put off ?
Perhaps the Telegraph could help by publishing pictures which Flashheart would approve of ?

I remember stopping at a motorway services en route to Glastonbury one year and saw a minibus full of Ascot 'ladies' day goers just about fall out of said vehicle swigging from bottles of fizz. At 9 in the morning 😯 😀I've been to a few Ladies Days at Royal Ascot. Has to be said, you get a different "type" of Lady at that venue for sure.

There were very many finely dressed Older Ladies at Royal Ascot, some were to be fair bloody lovely looking Women no matter what thier age, nor what they wore.
I will agree with the our interpretation angle of the story though, just looks like tat Journos in a Pap stylee.
You should go to Glorious Goodwood where stretch Hummer limos are considered to be classy...
But at least the hoi polloi are kept firmly in their place.

Scary, that looks says 'I'm going to eat you next'....
"Oh my Wayne has won, hope he treats me to a Greggs"
looks like she's elbow deep!!!

Not in the Silver Ring (in my experience).
The walk back to the car park is always comedy at Royal Ascot.

RM.
We are still going to have a very healthy crowd of well over 40,000.
A lot of those did not look that healthy to be honest.
I used to work with a real lady. She was in Debretts and everything.
She was a bit of a chubster but knew how to dress herself better than that.
My lord!
😯
Bugger. Forgot it was the National weekend. Well, no quiet pint in the local tonight - it'll be even more range rover-ed up than usual….
[And yes, that's very much a "look at those awful northern plebs" article, which the Telegraph does a brisk trade in. But then they forget that the (Epsom) Derby is named after a northernist (Lord Derby).]
