Spoons - Tim Martin is an absolute shit of a man, who has played his part in wrecking the country. Never going to willingly give him a penny.

Dyson - another traitor to the nation, and frankly every single one of his products I’ve ever used has been shit. All style / design over function or reliability.

Subway - just revolting food.

 

[AstroSloth]

Apple. Designed to not to last and encourage you to spend huge amounts just to keep up. Had an ipod once, learnt my lesson quickly.

It's a shame as their older stuff was actually great.

I had an iPod classic which for the time was fast, had massive storage and looked nice.

As time has gone on they've just gotten worse and worse though.

 

[Wozza]

Dyson
Wetherspoons
And any other Brexit-backing companies

(Wish I could resist Amazon)

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Wetherspoons which is a shame because I used to like the Marina branch.
Tabloid newspapers.
Dysons
NPower

 

[seagullwedgee]

Costa.

Really shyte coffee. Tastes like warm watery brown milk. Every single branch, everywhere.

 

[BN9 BHA]

I’m never buying anything in Woolworth again

 

[Sirnormangall]

Anything made in China - though easier said than done

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

As someone with a hobby of going to pubs I try to avoid Brewdog as well as Spoons - two big greedy chains run by arseholes

 

[Bob!]

Amazon
Sports Direct
Starbucks
Cafe Nero
Boots
Churchill
Cadbury

There's probably more

 

[spence]

To many to list.

Subway - just revolting food.

Also, for much the same reason, Warburtons
‘bread’
Any company that encouraged Brexit with the sole intention of lining their own pockets.


And any company that sponsors that lot up the road.

 

[BrightonCottager]

Costa.

Really shyte coffee. Tastes like warm watery brown milk. Every single branch, everywhere.

Owned by Pepsi.
For me, it's
Wetherspoon, for the reasons stated previously
Ryanair - one return flight and a lost surfboard was enough.
Amazon - tax dodging, high st destroying, capitalism at its worst.

Hyde Homes
Primark
Dyson

Ones I’m keen to expel from my life;

The Tory’s

[Bozza]

Apple. Designed to not to last and encourage you to spend huge amounts just to keep up. Had an ipod once, learnt my lesson quickly.

Apple was one of my three selections in the previous question: companies you love and favour.

We've got Apple products in the family that are 6, 8 and even 10 years old that are still going strong and performing well. As someone who has owned, and does own, a lot, I'd say your asseement couldn't be more wrong - they are very much built to last.

And, beyond that, their customer service has always been amongst the very best I have experienced anywhere from anyone.

 

[The Clamp]

I’m sure I’m being very naive but keen to know. Genuinely.
What’s the issue with Sports Direct?

 

[BN9 BHA]

Piglet’s Pies.
Harvey’s.
American Express.

 

[Nitram]

What’s the issue with Sports Direct?

Mike Ashley and his business model in relation to staff.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I’m sure I’m being very naive but keen to know. Genuinely.
What’s the issue with Sports Direct?

The owner, Mike Ashley treats his staff like shit, has aggressively built a monopoly in the high street sports shop market - putting every independent in the country out of business - and has spent the last decade buying famous high street chains / brands out of administration, then asset stripping them and scrapping them.
