What popular places are overrated?

[coulditbeme2323]

Following on from another thread, what places do you consider overrated that are popular?

Hotel Chocolat = over priced, at best average tasting, would much rather Cadbury's at a fraction of the price.

Amorino = our local one gets packed, as in queue's outside the shop packed. Over priced, very average ice cream, that they seem to be able to charge a premium for because you can mix flavors and it's a cue little flower shape.

Dominoes, Pappa Johns, Pizza Hut = unless there is a deal on very expensive for what tastes very processed pizza.

I've been to Hellman's Mayo. What's it like?

You mean like TBay and Gloucester Services. The Waitrose of motorway services.

No-one suggested they "don't like it" except you.

Can't you see how inflammatory and dangerous this kind of language is at a time when people are literally being burned from their homes?

You might have hit the nail on the head there.

This is literally what the poster said.

"It’s seen as a dream destination for so many immigrants but I feel sorry for them when they must realise how cold, expensive and unwelcoming it is."

Weird how? Ive never been. What. Spooky and witchy ?

I'm going to add the Harry Potter studios tour.

I liked it, don't get me wrong.

But the fact that it cost so much money and you have to book 4 months in advance for a decent time slot is insane.

I hate Paris with a passion. I can’t explain why, really. First time I went, my now DH took me there for my 21st and he got terrible gastroenteritis. Being cooped up in a hotel room the size of a postage stamp with someone with gastro isn’t fun. It also pissed it down every day, so maybe that’s why.

I’ve been there many times since, including working there for a few weeks but always hated it. I have declared to DH that I’m never going there again.

Costa is usually crap but in a heatwave it's bliss. Fantastic air-conditioning!

Yes, she did. She didn't say they didn't like it and she certainly didn't suggest that they should "go home if they don't like it."

I'll ask again:

Can't you see how inflammatory and dangerous this kind of language is at a time when people are literally being burned from their homes?

No I can't.

And that's why our nation is in such a problematic state.

Disney and universal in Orlando. All the queuing 🤯 and the heat and the cost. Kids hated it, we only lasted 2 hours at each place. Waste of time and money.

😂

Brighton. Dirty.

Domino's pizza. Overpriced for an unremarkable pizza. And Nando's. Every time I've been there,the service has been crap.

Laughter is a pretty heartless response

Let me be very clear - I don't care.

It is bizarre how people can write off a whole city and most restaurants!!

The polar express

Absolutely agree, spent my childhood holidays there, 70’s and early 80's. Wouldn't go near the place now, druggies openly using, homeless people begging everywhere (and fighting), town centre is a dive and most shops have shut down since Southampton opened the big shopping centre. Such a shame.

Nowhere beats Edinburgh for Georgian architecture. Bath always brags about that Crescent they have. Edinburgh has miles of it and much nicer.

I really enjoyed Warwick castle me DH and adult DS all enjoyed the falconry display and walking around the castle. DS and I are very interested in history DH less so. I thought there was quite a bit of war of the roses information and the models brought it to life it reminded me of the yorvik museum in York we all really enjoyed that too.
Places I don't like include Bournemouth which is very run down and Gloucester which was really rough but I did like the cathedral.

I'm old, so I can remember when Stonehenge was like that. I wouldn't bother with it now, Avebury is much nicer. I like the Rollright stones, too.
