Just because I was wearing a red cycling jacket, and had a helmet tucked under my arm, it does not
mean that I had just dropped out of a dog's bottom.

Having purchased my macaroni chips and beans, I sat down in a window seat. The 2 people on the
adjacent table gave me a "You look like you've just dropped out of a dog's bottom" kind of
look, picked up their food and moved one table further away from me, where the adjacent table
was also occupied.
I had had a shower that morning and had only cycled about 3 miles.
Perhaps they objected to my macaroni cheese smell?
Maybe I have been a been a victim of harrassment. Perhaps they were "cyclistist"?

My money is on the macaroni cheese. I would move if someone sat next to me and started eating
it. SteveP

Maybe you are too sensitive and paranoid. Maybe it was not you. Maybe they were having a private
conversation and didn't want someone sat near them listening.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.

Lots of people in Reading go about the place wearing cycling gear, and do not incur such
problems in shops! However, The sort of processed cheese used to make high-street store
restaurant grade macaroni cheese is low-grade stuff with a high casein content, and is certainly
not pleasing to the nose.
I'd also suspect the cheese rather than your mode of transport. Try dining on something *else*, and
let us know what happens 😉
