Default What’s the one thing you’re a ‘snob’ about?

For me, a bargain is a bargain, love getting things for cheaper and wouldn’t spend a lot of money on things I could get for cheaper, but the one thing I’m snobby about is….

Kitchen foil.

I bought the extra thick M&S one as I was in marks getting a Mother’s Day present a few years ago and now the usual stuff isn’t the same. I got one from Lidl yesterday and it’s so thin it might aswell be cling film!!!!

What’s yours?

Theatre etiquette. If you can't sit for 2 hours without talking to the person next to you, scrolling through your phone, singing along, rustling sweet wrappers - don't come.

Couldn't agree more. Some people just don't know how to behave.

I am a snob about Heinz Ketchup. Nothing else will do.

"Cheapo" supermarkets (Aldi/Lidl). 75% of the price for 50% of the quality and 25% of the customer service

10 years ago when they were genuinely LOADS cheaper than the big supermarkets it was maybe a fair trade off, but the truth these days is, they're not that much cheaper and the quality on most items is shocking, especially fresh meat/veg.

Although I do like Lidl yoghurts .

(I also agree on tinfoil by the way - cheap tinfoil is pointless)

Washing up liquid. It has to be fairy. It lasts longer
Cordial Juice. Has to be Robinson's.
Tea absolutely has to be Yorkshire tea
Coffee has to be Nescafé Americano
Definitely not cheap bin bags either
And fizzy drinks though I rarely buy them have to be the proper makes coca cola, pepsi etc!

I used to be a bit of a "grammar nazi", but a combination of my friends telling me to **** and working in an SEN behaviour school pretty much crushed that out of me

Otherwise I'm generally quite back and thrifty!

I am a bin bag snob also - nothing more infuriating than a cheap, thin bin bag that rips as soon as you put something in it .

Will also go one better on the washing up liquid; once you go "fairy platinum" you'll never go back to regular fairy. The absolute boss of washing up liquids. I hate it when I have a washing up liquid emergency and the local shop only has rubbish normal fairy .

Accents.

Even though I am a Geordie myself, I hate Geordie women's voices. They're now used a lot on the radio in adverts and even the GB News reader is a Geordie. Sorry but it's like nails down a blackboard.

Mainly food tbh. If I had to eat something from a Lidl or Aldi you’d think I was taking part in a bushtucker trial.

I like bargains but of good quality, if the item is made cheaply then I dislike it and don't want it e.g

*Weird lasagna not with traditional mince but some odd replacement meat.

* blades that are far too blunt to cut anything.

*And the basic washing up liquid,which was a really thick green gunge substance that reminds me of schools.
