Just looking at the John Lewis advert thread....I thought it was sweet but there are people who don’t...fair enough.

But are there some things that are universally liked?

For example

A kitten, who can’t like a kitten?
.
A walk on a crisp autumn day?

Sweetened condensed milk is absolutely rank.

Being snug in a comfy bed must be good for most.

New socks?

Namechangeforhair · 06/09/2018 23:00

I guess we must all like mumsnet.

FaFoutis · 06/09/2018 23:04

I hate myself for the time I waste on MN, so the 'liking' MN always has a bit of self-loathing in it.

Cheese. Gotta love cheese!

A lovely bowel emptying, peaceful, uninterrupted, relaxing poo.

Finally laying down in bed at the end of a long tiring day.

Namechangeforhair · 06/09/2018 23:10

Yes me too. Hate the time I waste on mumsnet and Facebook and my phone in general.

According to Americans, the answer is "motherhood and apple pie".

serendipitintea · 06/09/2018 23:15

Scratching an itch

FantastikRik · 06/09/2018 23:15

Yes to a big, satisfying poo.

Singlenotsingle · 06/09/2018 23:19

Getting free fruit, blackberrying, apple scrumping, picking plums off my plum tree

OlennasWimple · 06/09/2018 23:24

I know people who dont' like kittens because they are very allergic to them Sad

How about finding a tenner in a jacket pocket or a bag that you don't use very often?

Beautiful sunsets

Um...

The smell of baking bread

Um...

Not much else!

Feeling well after being ill.
Pleasure being the absence of pain, according to Epicurus and me after two days suffering with hideous migraine.

Roast potatoes?

LoisWilkerson1 · 06/09/2018 23:31

Everything is hated on mn. EverythingGrin

blinkineckmum · 06/09/2018 23:31

I love some of these, so clever!
Like the autumn walk, sunsets, winning something and SLEEP!
But personally I don't like kittens. I really dislike cats, so kittens seem full of potential for nastiness. Sorry, that sounds horrible!
My offering... receiving a good old fashioned hand written letter in the post?

FaFoutis · 06/09/2018 23:32

Yes Lois, it is.

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 06/09/2018 23:32

An orgasm.
A back tickle.
Foot massage.
Standing on front of a fan on a hot day.

blinkineckmum · 06/09/2018 23:33

Oh, and the smell of baking bread turns my stomach!

MyfanwyMontez · 06/09/2018 23:37

A warm towel after showers on a cold day.

BonnieF · 06/09/2018 23:38

I’m allergic to kittens and I hate the obscene greed and consumerism of Christmas, so those things aren’t universally liked.

I’m going to nominate Gary Lineker. Surely everyone likes him?

LoisWilkerson1 · 06/09/2018 23:39

When Father Ted kicked Bishop Brennan up the arse?
When you approach a red traffic light and it goes green?
When you see a rainbow?

jollyjester · 06/09/2018 23:41

Tom Hanks.
