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

    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.

    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)

    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.

    No, not the Oasis drummer, mate. That's Alan White. My mate swears by Trickers. I have several pairs of Grensons, but no Trickers. First world problems again, but I find Taylors shaving soap lathers a lot easier than Truefitt and Penhaligons. I've got Trumpers after shave preprations and hair cream. I've had my shaving brush about 10 or 12 years and, again, it's as good as new. The key to it is rinsing it properly and drying it.

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

    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.

    Westminster Council, by any chance? If so, I try to avoid them for the same reason.

    If 4 had been Aston Martin I would've called you out as James Bond. Maybe you put Land Rover to throw us off the scent.
