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.

Well to be fair cheesy chips are not a southern thing are they? The only people I know among my friends and family who eat it are northerners.

To me the only thing more disgusting is chips and gravy.

See I thought it was the other way round !!!

Chester Zoo (don’t like zoos in general but found this one particularly grim on a school visit).
Overpriced - entry fee, food & drinks.
Animals look ‘sad’.
Scruffy public areas.
Signage very confusing.
Not worth the money.

I believe Chester zoo is consistently named as the best zoo in the UK, and ranked among the best in Europe and globally, so they must be doing something right!

I'm a member of chester zoo and go a lot.

I get spoilt I think, because if I go to another zoo, I'm always shocked how small the enclosures are.

Chester zoo is definitely one of the better zoos.

They do absolutely loads for conservation.
