To ask for things that you believe have declined in quality

[JMSA]

I'll kick it off with Fairy Liquid!
Has anyone else noticed this? I have a dishwasher but often wash certain things, eg my big frying pan, by hand. You'd certainly need a mighty big squeeze these days, for a proper foamy lather.
Anything else? If nobody mentions Cadbury's chocolate, I will eat the Oodie I'm currently wearing

Funny though isn't it - coz employment conditions and life chances for many of them aren't nearly as "special" as yours were.

You don't expect people to smile when delivering customer service? 😵‍💫

The whole basis of good customer service is at least pretending to give a shit about your customers.

You can definitely see more with the camera. My car doesn’t have them but my work car does and I prefer reversing that as you can see directly behind the car/ the 360 viewpoint / helpful guiding lines for tight spots.

No, I use my camera. But I also use my eyes and I wouldn't claim not to need to look because I have a camera. Which you did in your first post which is why people leapt on it.

No, they didn't. A whole generation of young people are not stupid or bad workers.

I've news for you - our parents thought the same of us. And theirs of them!

Supermarket take away wraps. Less filling.

Say what now?

But aren’t your eyes on your camera??

I second Uniqlo. I got a cashmere jumper from there- good value and so far is holding up nicely. They do great men’s T shirts too.

It’s not just the strength of the loo roll that’s gone down the pan (fnar) - it’s the width. If it gets any narrower it’ll be like wiping your bum with a receipt roll!

Yes, after two years we had to throw away a Bosch dishwasher. The repair cost was estimated to be similar to buying a new one.

We remember the 'good old days' when six or seven years was the norm, and with a decent repair man, another three years.

Planned obsolescence. What a waste of the world's precious resources!

“…and as customers we are well aware we are just shit on the shareholders shoes.”

Very well said @PontiacFirebird .

I’ve thought this for many a year.

I agree with you about Shloer. It now has an unpleasant artificial taste and I won’t buy it again. We like elderflower cordial with fizzy water. Not the same but a good alternative.

Cadbury's Roses - the look of them and variety and the awful wrappers 🤦‍♀️!!! Makes me sad o

I second driving and supermarket parking. It's like the wild west. I literally watched some bloke reverse into a pedestrian who, luckily leaped out if the way. I beeped my horn because he was just oblivious, just kept on reversing. He then wound down his window and made, let's say, a rude sign. Fifteen minutes later a taxi driver, trying to parallel park reversed into a parked car behind him, I days to him you just reversed into that car, oh it's ok he said, I do that quite often.

Washing up liquid, Ritz crackers, chocolate, fresh veg ( fresh for about 15 minutes before it goes mouldy) twix ( post about Twix a lot), rum babas., niche I know.

Definitely I think it's mid range stuff that's suffered most

Mid range eating out
Mid range clothes
Mid range hotels

This 100%

Polarn o. Pyret is the place to get pjs. Lovely thick cotton that doesn’t shrink badly. Washes well, keeps their shape. Downside is you’ll look like an over sized toddler in the stripes but my god you’ll be a cosy comfortable oversized toddler.

Twiglets
Pringles

Love a walnut whip. I'd forgotten about the second walnut. Also they didn't used to be made from two separate halves stuck together.

er, dont recall that myself .

Rum babas

Remembered another one - Asda tin foil. Got it last month and it was normal. This month it’s really thin! Never seen foil like it before.

I went into M&S and was a bit disappointed at the knitwear. There's a lovely red jumper I bought a few years ago that is now made of terrible material.

I shop on Vinted now.
