I’ll start… dogs 😬 Never goes down well & I think if I owned one I’d probably grow to love it but in my eyes they just smell and dribble and are annoying. How about you?!

I forgot about Hen parties and baby showers...absolutely detest them! Oh and gender reveals! So tacky!

Baby showers, gender reveal parties, in fact anything that's there to screw even more money from friends just because you've manage to get pregnant.

Baby showers. Tacky and grabby. Plus a Baby shouldn't be celebrated until it's arrived safely in the world.

Game of thrones a friend tried to explain what it was about. I tried to watch an episode but just no not for me. As well as stranger things.

I've never tried those but Lord of the Rings would be one of mine, OH was a Tolkein fan long before the films and I can't read the books nor watch the films,

Lip fillers. You can always tell.

Star Wars.

Strictly. BBC in general.

JK Rowling and that annoying brand of white middle class feminism.

Is black middle class feminism allowed or are you just anti-white people?
