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.

Log burners and fire pits - asthma inducing stink-fests
heels - feet have gone on strike since covid

also agree with Toneys Chocoloney - had some a few weeks ago, tastes like cheap kinnertons chocolate.

Coffee. Look, I like a good coffee as much as the next person, but the whole coffee-culture thing that has been raging for the last 2 decades, it leaves me cold. In Italy, say, it seems so matter of fact. Good coffee, well it's a matter of fact, none of the twatiness you get here.

Gastropubs. Take a normal pub but double the prices, insist on bookings and serve the food on a lump of wood instead of a plate. No thanks.
Another vote for Paris - if I want a waiter to be rude to me and serve rubbish food, I can just go to the local gastropub.
Democracy. Can't think of a decent replacement though.

I have just read 'Verity' and it was terrible. How is she a best selling author?
