Adults who like Disney are strange, why would an adult go to Disney land?
Puffa coats. I will never understand this one. They make you look fat, they look cheap.

Tattoos - more like graffiti than art. And permanent.
Las Vegas / Dubai - hot, sand and hotels
AI Holidays - why go to far flung places and spend most of your time in an hotel.
Gogglebox / reality TV / soaps.
Cruises - nice to wake up in a different place every day but traipsing round in a huge gang and having to share a dinner table.
Arty markets. Pretty tat that ends up as dust collectors.

Yes to Dubai! I really don't understand why people go there. It looks so dull.

Spa days. Paying £££'s to be mauled around by a total stranger whilst listening to wanky whale music. No thanks.

HeronLanyon · 23/02/2020 06:50

I would have said spa days for sure BUT I i had several Swedish massages (try saying that after a few!) on holiday recently and you know what - they were superb and I loved it.
I am a convert. They are indeed expensive though.

The current obsession with trying to create a vegan version of everything. Give me back my lovely veggie stuff. I'm not veggie, just eat about 90 per cent vegetarian food because I like it (and DP is veggie). But it's being sucked into the vegan trend vortex. And yes, I know I can cook from scratch, but so can Vegans! End of rant ...
