More curmudgeoness-
Nestle - for taking over and degrading the formerly wonderful Rowntrees and Terrys chocolate. Have you seen a coffee flavoured Walnut Whip lately, WITH a walnut on top? No, neither have I. 🙁
Amazon - I accept them (and eBay) as the unpleasant but unfortunately useful face of capitalism. But can’t they be told just ONCE that I don’t want their feckin’ Prime, rather than EVERY single time?
Hotpoint - my son as a toddler used to love sitting and watching the washing going around. Until the machine literally caught fire. As with cars, have stuck with German products ever since.
So-called “Craft” beer in unsatisfyingly tiny cans; massively, massively overpriced. Just why?
Rossi’s Fish and chip restaurant, Swansea. Frequented for best part of 30 years, although I felt I while back that they’d lost their crown as best in the area. However, called in last summer with the missus after a fatiguing morning of shopping and wilting with hunger, ordered 2 cod & chips. There were 4 nice big cod in the display warmer over the counter, so figured it wouldn’t be long. Watched with an increasing feeling of dismay over the next 20 mins as they were given to people behind us in the queue. At 25 mins asked when our order might be ready. Given a blank look, then told “oh, we’ll put a couple on to fry now”. Asked for refund, never ever again. 🤬
