OK, share things that "everyone RAVES about" but when you tried it/went there/ate it etc it left you properly underwhelmed and you've almost ashamed to admit it. Don't need to give details or reasons, just name THE THING
I'll start........

Australia

Strictly come dancing

Great British bake off

Pulp Fiction

Twin Peaks

Les Mis (long winded and boring.)

Avocado - vile

Cornwall

Nando's

Lord of the rings

Prosecco - gassy and nasty.

Walking Dead (Started off good, crap now.)

Agree about Ed Sheeran and Adele a bit. I think they are both good/talented, but no better than any other male and female artist.

Also utterly unimpressed with Australia, and don't get why anyone would wanna move there. Millions of miles away from home and family, expensive cost of living, bugs, flies, deadly snakes, poisonous spiders, too hot.

Ellie Goulding. Irritating voice, over-rated, ruined her face with botox at a young age.

Mamma Mia - dire.

Downton Abbey

Girl on the train book was good, the film was shit. Glad it's not just me.

I am glad to see I am not the only one who doesn't GET Bake off and strictly.

But I am struggling to get the few people who don't like Tom Hardy, Leonardo DiCaprio, Harry Potter, Game of thrones, and breaking bad. Each to their own. Smile

Getoffthetableplease · 14/10/2017 19:00

Game of Thrones
Unicorn stuff in general
Prosecco (it's fine but as a cheap champers, hearing friends constantly repeating the word makes me cringe)

Seeyamonday · 14/10/2017 19:00

Ed sheeran
David Grey, boring, boring, boring!!
Long lies in bed... God no, just get up and get on with the day!

Each to their own

FaFoutis · 14/10/2017 19:04

Almost every item of clothing that people love on the style and beauty board. I look at the things and try to see what they are seeing but it all looks like my mother would wear it (I'm not young). And my mother is a golfer.

SleepFreeZone · 14/10/2017 19:04

The very expensive spa hotel we went to in Cornwall. The linen had rips in it and the bedroom wasn't particularly clean.
