Hotel Chocolat chocolate. I've just had the salted caramel puddles and they were nothing to write home about (and I love chocolate).
To be fair, I have plebeian chocolate tastes Blush and it could just be that their milk chocolate has a higher cocoa content than most, and doesn't taste creamy enough.
I still don't enjoy their chocolate though.

Over to you.

Apologies, OP. I am so underwhelmed (/infuriated) by stuff these days that I failed to pick just one as instructed. Sorry!

The Royal Family.

So called 'reality television'

Manufacturing scenarios with cameras pointed at mentally vulnerable or complete freaks and catering to utter morons.

Fuck off with your 'guilty pleasure' television programmes, this should not be broadcast.

Education first, entertainment second

gym- well, strength training. Easy to injure yourself, always seem to ache half the week. I probably didn’t look much better than I do when I’m running regularly and that’s lots cheaper and doesn’t hurt at all.

Christmas. It's just an overload of wifework and lazy ungrateful feckers turning up at your house treating you like a servant.

Agreed. I hate Christmas!

A few more (all right, I know I'm going to fail the exam through not following the instructions):

Reality TV, as pp have said

Surprises; if I like a present or experience, it doesn't need to be a surprise for mw to enjoy it.

Men wirh exaggerated bulging muscles; I find that really off-putting rather than sexy.

Living with a man.

I hear this a lot. Will never do it. I could end up expected to wash a grown man's pants. Just absolutely not.

Monogamy; it is not a natural way to be.

Agree on the truffles!

Any edible forest mushroom has more flavour than the truffles I have tasted.

The book 'One Day'. So much hype. So interminably dull. He's written much better books that didn't get the same hype.

Stranger Things. Season 1 was ok, slogged my way through season 2 then gave up. I don't get the cult obsession with it at all.

Agree with you there.
Also...Running up that hill by Kate Bush.
Not Kate Bush herself of course (national treasure secret sister) , just that song.

Prosecco.
Jo Malone candles. Don’t see the point in burning money.
Big pouty over filled lips, Just why? The girl over the road can hardly speak and has to drink through straw, she literally does look like a duck.
Big thick eyebrows, really heavy eye make up.
The BBCs obsession with last weeks heatwave. It’s June, it’s summer, it gets hot, yeah, I know, global warming and all of that but still, get a grip. 1976 was scorching for weeks, scorched earth, literally. Droughts, Stand pipes in the streets. now that was a heatwave.
Ripped knees on leggings and jeans.
Posh burgers, 10 cm tall, my gob doesn’t open that wide.

The Beatles.

Come at me, music fans, and remember I didn't say they weren't good, I said they were overrated.
