Name 5 products that you have carried on using for most of your life.

On the flip side I've not bought anything from Tesco for around 18 years. Long story, but I'm punishing them.

1 Boss effects pedals
2 Status basses
3 Fender guitars
4 Oxo
5 Jaffa Cakes

Tend not to be particularly brand loyal, but these are things I have certainly stuck with.

Marmite
BBC
Private Eye
Ford cars (not really thought about why but they're all I've had for the last 20 years. Cheap n cheerful)
Dawes bicycles (again, only had two, but kept me going for the last 25 years or so)

We refuse to patronise Pizza Hut in principle. Which is a shame cos I really like their pizza. All stems from a family holiday to Scotland four years ago when our youngest, then 9, found a couple of hairs on his pizza. Given that they weren't head hairs we were somewhat disgusted and concerned.

Yeah I remember this.

It was part of their ill advised pube stuffed crust promotion I believe?!?

Trumper's badger hair shaving brush - oh oh
Le Creuset casserole
John Smedley knitwear
American hard gums
Coleman's mustard

Another Smedley wearer. Got maybe 20 or so Smedleys. Although my badger's hair shaving brush is Truefitt & Hill. Use it every day with either Taylors, Truefitt or Penhaligons shaving soap. We also have a full set of Le Creuset. In red. First world problems.

I've gone over to Taylors in the last few years for shaving soap, combs and 'scent'. Trumper was never the same after they moved from their original shop. I've had their shaving brush for 20 yrs now, and it's as good as new.
As for the rest; selvedge denim, Redwing boots and many years ago when I drummed, Paiste cymbals, but Trickers only for brogues and Oxfords.
With all those kits, you weren't the Oasis drummer, were you? I think he was a Charlton fan.

Gosh this took some serious thought:

Marmite
Logic Pro/Mac
Various guitars
Various cheeses
Hai Karate

Tricky one this as I usually have zero brand loyalty in most places.

Jura Whisky
BrewDog
Westerham Brewery
Private Eye
Head & Shoulders

Literally cannot think of anything else I intentionally buy because it is that brand.

I like Isle of Jura but with so many malts out there I try to never buy the same brand twice.

Guinness
Fullers ESB
Fairy Liquid
London Transport
Charlton Athletic

Youngs Special would be on the list but I've stopped drinking it since it moved to Bedfordshire.

if I'd been allowed seven, the BBC and Marmite, too.
