When it comes to buying stuff (especially food) there are certain brands that I have to buy and I wont compromise on...

Kerrygold Butter
Barry's Tea
Clonakilty Black Pudding
O'Neills Sports wear/polo shirts, etc.

I know other people swear by Toyota cars, Puma King Boots, etc.

Anything else lads?

I can live with Chef! But no other ketchup apart from Heinz.

Have to agree.   Nothing nicer on the handwiches.

I've always been happily brand agnostic. There are brands I prefer but nearly always I'll drop them in a flash if there is a better value option. Hence I wear NB trainers when I usually buy Ascics, drink Costa coffee if it's closer than Starbucks but never if it's further, and have an Alba TV, because it plays the same channels as an LG, but cost half as much.

Like most people I grew up on the taste of Heinz beans and ketchup, and HB sauce, and won't buy anything else - but i reckon this is more tastebud related than brand related: my palate prefers these flavours to competitor flavours. As and when someone provides me with Asda/Tesco own brand beans and I can't really tell the difference, I'll be the first to decamp.

Worrying though I've gained a recent draw - bordering on fetish - for Regina Blitz kitchen roll. I've spent my whole life ignoring marketing to be pulled in by kitchen roll!

The one thing I won't compromise on is quality bog roll!

The thought of putting something called Regina Blitz up me arse makes me shudder.

In fairness Hardy I doubt if he was considering putting any kind of KITCHEN roll up his arse.

True. But I'd also suggest that it's kind of inevitable should you make constant use of the toilet beside the kitchen, then one day you will forget to check the main bunker's supplies before delivery. The natural response then is to see what's in the reserve bunker. This is when the soft, spongy qualities of Blitz by Regina really come into their own.

Good luck with the toilet beside the kitchen :o Wouldn't get much use on a  Saturday morning in my house!
