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........

New York. It was basically London with taller buildings and straighter roads.

Strictly et al, all so fucking bollocks. The Khardasians: someone should knock them all off, they are a massive waste of space.

All Cath Kidston or other designer bags, utter overpriced crap.

Any classic songs that have had a rap artist add their shitty part to it. Ffs, use your initiative and write your own fucking song instead of ruining a classic!

GrouchyKiwi · 14/10/2017 20:11

Checked through to see if anyone said NZ - glad I only have to scowl at one person. Wink

Mine:

  • Adele, Ed Sheeran, Emile Sande, Taylor Swift. No thank you.
  • GoT, Orphan Black, The Walking Dead. Hated all the characters. (Also am a great big wimpy wimp so anything zombie is out.)
  • Paris, except for the Eiffel Tower, which I expected to be crap but actually loved.
  • London.
