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?!

The channel 5 remake of All Creatures Great and Small. I find it anachronistic, mawkish, not faithful to the original books and trying to put twenty first century values into the 1930s.
Other things l dislike that seem to be popular elsewhere are curry, nuts and custard.

Another one: snow! Especially in places where it's not usually snowy, and the ice is not quickly cleared. I am terrified of slippery icy pavements, and I definitely don't dream of a white Christmas!

Coriander, eau de sweatiest socks! When St Delia made it almost compulsory I really did try to like it but failed. Same with yoghurts, I've tried to get on with them for 50+ years and can't, feel almost guilty about it.

There's only one song by the Beatles I like (and I'm of that era); the rest I find utterly boring. The adoration of Paul McCartney is something I just don't understand.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 15/10/2022 21:01

I don’t like The Beatles either.

I’m going to be slated for this….. but using they/them for people who are non binary. It just confuses me as to me it’s more than one person. I think we need to come up with something new!
