A female horse-rider who was refused service in the drive-through lane of a McDonald’s while in the saddle, subsequently led the animal inside, where it defecated on the floor.

CCTV showed the woman and her daughter taking their pet into the restaurant after they were told they had to tie it up.

But then customers in the restaurant looked on in astonishment as the animal “ended up doing his business on the floor.”

The woman was issued with a fine after the incident at the branch on Bury New Road in Whitefield, Greater Manchester, last Saturday.

Police were called to the scene.

A statement issued by Greater Manchester Police’s Whitefield Division read: “On Saturday, July 20, police from Whitefield received a call from McDonald's on Fountain Place regarding a woman on horse using the drive thru.

I wonder why they refused her drive thru service....horse or car...I don’t see a big difference...when you pull up to the window....


When I was about 14, a bunch of us were hungry at about 2 AM and tried to walk up to the Burger King drive through. They said they couldn’t serve us unless we were in a car. We walked around the building, formed up in a “car formation,” walked up to the speaker (while the two in the “back seat” made car noises, and ordered. The staff laughed and told us to “pull-up to the window.”

People want to work with you if you have a sense of humor.

Just Brits being British ........

British horsemen have a long tradition of riding through the turnip patches of the peasants while in hot pursuit of a fox.

Eventually, said mere peasants left and formed “a more perfect union”.
