What Brands you have bought that have been in terms of quality, reliability, durability, longevity, manufacturer support etc, a disappointment and not one you would buy again or recommend to anyone. What generic or unbranded/own brands have you been impressed by and would recommend to others as a substitute for better known or long standing brand name products.

We lost one a few years ago and the emotional trauma in house with children is just terrible. Our other dog is now 14 and we have to gear ourselves up for another round of this as he shows signs of old age.... My mother tho had a sheepdog ( collie) and he lived to 28 and he looked every day of that 28 years old ...poor feller.

My friend at work has boxers ..... now that's one breed that lacks years ...I think you are lucky to get 10 years ..... sucks!!!!

Maybe the fuss generated is something to do with it being the first UK designed product to make a big splash in many the year but, for me, they are the Apple of products from a marketing perspective but an Acer in terms of performance. When I finally kicked my under-performing Dyson to the kerb and replaced in with a big ugly Meile, I nearly cried in gratitude when I heard the motor rumble to life and watched as my carpet was sucked to within an inch of it's life. So, what brands do you think are overrated?

Sure Budweiser is brewed with rice, the cheaper way to brew beer. They all have low alcohol content because they don't want to pay more tax or be in the higher tax bracket based only alcohol volume. Probably because more alcohol in their already bland drink would make it taste more like piss and how could the drinks companies charge a premium and pay higher tax on alcohol? They couldn't. So the they keep the alcohol low, so they can keep their profits higher. Mean while, I'm buying craft beers at 8.0% and 7.5% with actual flavour, character. Made by people with a passion for making something nice. Not some faceless corporation trying to maximize profit before customer satisfaction. Craftbeers sell based on flavour and quality (some are **** but mostly they are good) and the likes of Heineken/Budweiser sell on massive marketing.

I've lost only one floofer luckily. It was devastating but it really equipped me to deal with other heartache in life and I love to look back on the time spent with them. In terms of brands, a lot of software you need to buy has a freeware equivalent which is just as good if not a bit better if you're not doing anything too complicated. Audacity is grand instead of Protools for the basic music and sound editing . Windows movie maker or Openshot will do for video.
