Romcoms. Love Actually is the worst one, but it isn't the only one. I also loathe Notting Hill, Four Weddings, and most of the other ones as well. Pretty Woman is dire. I far prefer Old Hollywood screwball comedies. Some Like it Hot has to be the most perfect comedy ever, it is so funny and it is romantic without being schmaltzy.

Latest insta restaurant. Quality of food has been awful, I just understand the online hype. It's happened twice now so never going with the latest fad restaurant anymore.

Hamilton musical.

I think Lin-Manuel Miranda attempted to cram as many lyrics as he possibly could into a particular timeframe and ended up with an over bloated monster, but thought "Never mind, I'll just leave them in".

Yup. Friends sugggested we go there once, I thought it would be on a on par with, say, Pizza Express. Turned out to be more like Mcdonalds. Crap food and rubbish service.

I'm always disappointed by the cinema. Horrendously expensive these days, the sound levels are usually all over the place (booming loud then unintelligible dialogue), and some twat is always on their phone or talking all the way through. I'd much rather wait a month for the film to come out on Amazon Prime and spend the money on a nice meal at home instead. At least if the DH or the DCs start talking part way through I can threaten them with an early bedtime Grin

I think the music is amazing and the lyrics really clever - but seeing the stage show on screen, the staging didn't really look like all that. Some stairs and platforms and people dancing. Maybe it's better in the theatre.

Trendy restaurants that suddenly become 'the' go to places... not because of the food but because they have a floral wall or something, perfect for the 'gram.

YES!

Also I’ve never understood all the fuss about Les Mis. It only seeks to have one tune in it and that’s the dirge-like I dreamed a dream.

It is just amazing in the theatre. I couldn't speak at a half time. The choreography comes to life.

Subway! Nearly trebled in price and less choice of fillings than there used to be!
Fabulosa washing up liquid, like coloured piss!
Dove products, supposed to be good to your skin, they bring me out in a rash! What the hell do they put in them?!
Domestos Power Foam. Unless your toilet bowl is bone dry, it doesn't stick like the adverts show!
Febreze (or Freebeez as I like to call it!) The last bottle I got smelt rank and didn't freshen anything!
Dominoes pizzas. Over priced and not as good as independent pizza places.
