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.

The idea that we should all be size 8, makeup wearing, perfect hairstyled Goddesses. F**k off, and let me be fat and ugly in peace.

Couldn't agree more!

Swimming costumes. Who wants free hanging boobs and a dank, wet belly all day?

The day I discovered bra sized bikinis was a watershed. Hold the buggers up I say, and brown that tummy instead of basting it in chlorine and nylon.

And I'm no blimmin Kate Moss either.

The notion that ’self care’ is 15 step skin care routine, make-up, fake nails, fillers, botox, shaven from eyebrows down…. The list goes on and on.

Why only one? Sorry, but I can think of loads!!

Australia (why the do Brits fly to the other side of the world to visit a boring, suburban culture when they have France and Italy on their doorstep?? Paris on its own is more interesting than Australia).

Marriage (unless it’s with the right person)

Casual Sex (generally boring, embarrassing and unfulfilling...in my limited experience)

Alcohol (expensive, bad for your health and a depressant! There are much better drugs out there)

Ireland (if I’m going to the hassle of flying, it’s going to be somewhere bright and cheerful, not another grey island with dull little towns and people who dislike me)

Truffles , taste like bad breath

This made me laugh out loud, so true about coconut water.

Percy Pigs, people seem to rave about them. I bought a bag for the 1st time few weeks ago and thought they had an odd flavour. Certainly wouldn’t buy them again.

Send them my way if there’s any left. I’m particularly fond of Percy and Pals. The fizzy tails I can take or leave.

How can Ed Sheehan, with his millions of super-varied, self-written and performed, global No 1s , be considered overrated?

'not my taste' - of course. Overrated? Nah.

The thread title literally says ‘in your view’ - does that not mean opinion or taste?
