Cockapoos. They're mongrels. Not designer/hybrid dogs and they certainly don't belong in coats/jackets/jumpers like most round here.

One Day I just couldn’t watch the whole first episode

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 20/03/2024 18:40

I regret falling for the shark vacuum hype so much. Hate the thing

Same!

IvorTheEngineDriver · 20/03/2024 18:41

Foreign holidays "in the sun".

Spending time in the garden on a hot day. Nope.

Cashmere. The BOBBLING! Angry

NellyCortado · 20/03/2024 18:42

Barbecues - massive faff IMO

Long soak in a bath - uncomfortable but maybe just the design of out bath

New Year's Eve

coxesorangepippin · 20/03/2024 18:42

Oh yeah, tropical beaches on hot days

What the hell

It's like being under questioning with alien beings

Harry Styles.

I took DD to his concert in 2022 and hate to say it converted me, we went twice again last year. It is just so much fun, literally the happiest place on earth

Please expand more on Harry Potter land thing. Not a fan but gc are and when I researched tickets, it's a long drive for us and worked out at just under £350 just for tickets, which to my mind is extortionate for a day out

Justcallmebebes · 20/03/2024 18:43

Meant to say, is it not worth it?

ChoccieEgg49 · 20/03/2024 18:43

Everything 'salted caramel'
Prosecco
Fake mosaic tiles

Jeannie88 · 20/03/2024 18:44

Afternoon tea (overpriced and can only eat so many cakes!)

Americanised celebrations like baby showers and gender reveal

Worshipping people like the Kardashians and aspiring to be like them while going into debt

Fake nails

Social media pouting, always having to take selfies rather than the actual view

James fecking Bond.

This. And the never ending speculation about who's in line to be the next fecking Bond. 🙄

It was just very underwhelming, DD was a huge fan at the time and she wasn't even impressed. Its basically just a museum, there isn't much interactive stuff to do. Just meh

I saw ABBA at Wembley arena in 1977. No avatars are going to match up with that.

This! Piece.Of.Shit - Also Dyson

Got a really basic heavy duty hoover from Screwfix and it’s done better than every high end brand I’ve ever had.

DrJoanAllenby · 20/03/2024 18:46

Harry Potter.
Salted caramel.
Prosecco.
Those hideous Uniqlo half moon bags.
Pixie cut hairstyles.
Flatform footwear.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 20/03/2024 18:47

Maltesers.

Anything advertised as “fun for all the family”. No it’s not.

MaMisled · 20/03/2024 18:47

The book Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Raymond didn't comment on her drastic hair do which renders the book rubbish in my eyes.

Naan bread. Too filling to have with a curry.

Instagram. Full of people who live in search of photo opportunities.
