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.
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)

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.
