Exactly what I do & have always done, its a pity more folk don't do the same

I've been boycotting French products for years.
Chinese products might be a bit difficult though.

I have had issues with two major companies, British Gas and Virgin Mobile and I've avoided them like the plague!

Only thing is, I can't remember why!

It's an age thing.

Get ta my age and ya won't need a "reason why"...

I recall father in law telling us to steer clear of Curry’s because he bought a pram from them and it went faulty.

“But Frank, that was over 40 years ago, I think they may have got better by now”

What did he expect buying a pram from an Indian restaurant?

I would love to see Apple tell the Kitchens that they can go eff themselves and they move production elsewhere. That would hit them and send a very clear message.

I grew up with an absolute loathing for anything made by Vauxhall. We went through 3 Vivas one after the other and my step dad vowed he'd never have another...I inherited that from him.

Mrs Poo and me wouldn't touch a Peugeot after being mugged off by a cock of a dealer in Cardiff back in 2005. In we went, and unfortunately had to deal with this young kid who thought he knew it all. Two almost-guaranteed brand new purchases and he managed to piss us both off with a cocky attitude and a refusal to negotiate, 'price is on the windscreen' approach. We left. Phone call a few days later from the dealer principal's secretary and she had a full run down on the situation, so hopefully he would have learned his lesson. Dunno what the eff we were thinking in planning on buying Peugeots anyway.

And I will never buy another Ford. Bought our first new van - and Escort - in, I think, the eighties. Rust spots appeared all over the outside after 13months: told by Ford 'tough, out of warranty'. Scroll forward to about 10 years ago when I bought 5 new Transit Connects; never had so many problems with new vans - they were continually in and out of the local Ford dealers (also one of our customers) from the moment we got them until I got rid of them earlier than usual (2/3 years as opposed to 5/6). I even had one need a new clutch after 3000 miles; 'it's your driver causing the problem'. Got it back and needed a new clutch in less than 1000 miles: they, grudgingly took in in part-ex for another one. Never again.
