‘I won’t buy a single Samsung product because I had two faulty laptops when I was a teenager and lost data both times. Despite the fact it was more than likely Microsoft bugs.

‘My mum refused to watch anything Sean Bean was in because of how he treated his first wife. Don’t ask for details, I don’t remember, but the woman has a very successful career post-divorce. Mum didn’t know either party personally. Didn’t help that Sean Bean supported the ‘wrong’ football team. (info: mum also from Sheffield).’

‘When my mother was a student nurse she saved Campbell soup labels and sent them off to get an apron. It never turned up. She never bought Campbells soup again. This was in the 1970s. My sister and I have continued to grudge and never bought Campbells either.’

‘I won’t ever visit Switzerland because the youth hostel at Lausanne refused to give us the meal we’d booked and paid for because we arrived slightly late (the train was late). We exacted revenge by pouring the remains of the oil from our tinned fish down all of the drains we could find. This was 1977.’

‘Not me, but my dad loathes Sophie Ellis Bextor because 25 years ago she said in an interview she thought the Beatles were crap. So obviously whenever she’s on the telly/radio, someone shouts “DAD, YOU’RE GIRLFRIEND’S ON” as tradition dictates.’
