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........

Oh my God, so many. Here goes:

Amazon Prime TV. We had a 30 day free trial and couldn’t find anything worth watching. Cancelled it, needless to say.

Five Guys. I was promised the best burger of my life by friends who love it and I was distinctly underwhelmed.

Henley on Thames. Apologies to anyone who lives there, but it’s so up its own arse terribly naice that it’s not my cup of tea at all. Not worth the day trip.

Café Rouge. Maybe it’s just our local branch Oxford but, although the food is ok, the service is dreadful every time. Stopped going.

The Hangover.

I swear I'm the only person in the world who didn't find that film completely fucking hilarious.

MrsJBaptiste · 14/10/2017 19:50

I agree with the Girl on the Train - the book was boring, the film absolutely dire

But Heck sausages, so bland! Everyone I know loves them, hell, a random woman in the supermarket even raved about them as I was pondering the offer. Back to the fatty ones I like!
