‘Asda after the great Christmas delivery cock up of 2019 (as it is known in our house) when they failed to deliver our Christmas dinner shopping. It forced me into food shopping at 2pm on Christmas Eve which was an absolute fucking nightmare.’

‘Oral B after those fucking awful adverts they had a few years ago. I never plan on having kids, but if I did have any then I’d be avoiding any brand that has ever even considered thinking using the word ‘poonami’.’

‘Panasonic. Our video recorder stopped ejecting tapes one day after the guarantee. They refused to mend it, even after my Uncle who lived near their UK HQ spent a morning at their reception. Looking back forty years, we may have been a bit mental. Then again, why not.’

‘Starbucks. Well over a decade ago I ordered a flavoured coffee and was given the wrong order – I vowed to never go back lol. The coffee also didn’t taste that great but that’s not the primary reason I stopped going.’

‘Ringo, the parking app. because I paid via their app once then came back to a ticket on my car. When I queried it they said I haven’t purchased a valid parking ticket for my Porsche. I drive a fucking 17 year old Audi estate.’

‘I refuse to ever go to Spain again, because when I was 6 (over 30 years ago) I asked for a glass of milk, in a cafe, and they gave me hot milk.
I’m now very lactose intolerant, and apparently hot milk is normal in Spain, but yep, never setting foot in that country again.’
