Brand disloyalty

[sufcintheprem]

I do, i would'nt get a vodafone for the reasons touched on earlier, i won't buy or even allow a mirror newspaper in the house and i try and avoid red whenever possible. Mad eh??

Don't remember Barnsley being sponsored by Vodafone. Hmm. Do you use ORA mobile phone accessories?

 

[scrounger]

Does this also work in the reverse though? Does everyone use Insure & Go when going abroad? I use them but the simple reason is because they are generally the cheapest.

Samsung. Wont buy any of their products, something to do with Chelsea being sponsored by them. My Virgin box is made by Samsung, so I bet that wont last long. Plus the last bill was more than expected, probably due to Chelsea's rising wages with their 'star' players :p

F C U K - It really isn't big and it isn't clever. Whoever decided on that "innovative" brand name should be tied to a crane and dangled feet first 9' over the lion's cage at London Zoo.

I used to work in a butchers ad a saturdy boy. The butcher also sold eggs and he put a sign up outside saying "extra lare eggs" people would often come into the shop to tell him he spelt large wrong and while they were there he often sol them some eggs.

I try and avoid aving Pepsi in the house as opposed to the real thing, due to the association with Pepsi and the Argies in the Falklands war.

What was this all about Steveo?

It was partly acceptable about 9 years ago, when lennox lewis wore the **** fear t shirt, and it was limited to **** fear and **** fashion, but cant believe people wear it like a badge still!!

[Lester Bangs]

Oh I also avoid 'Icelands' which was formely Bejams as they treated my brother incredibly poorly during his first Saturday job circa 1986. he spent 8.5 hours every Saturday stacking those freezers, freezing his bones to the marrow for those ***** just to lay him off, talk about gratitude!

Talk about holding a grudge, oh and the fact that they have Catona on their adverts keeps my anger alive!

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Would never avoid purchasing a product from a company who sponsor another football team. To me that makes no sense at all.

I Love my team as much as the next man but boycotting a company who sponsor a rival football team to me is misguided, narrow minded and taking things just a bit to far.

But that is just me and if anyone feels a difference of opinion then you are welcome to it!

 

[Kent Shrimper]

Most of mine are completley irational

I try to stay away from Evian, cos i dont like the french. This also rules out Cars.

Virgin airways have been black listed for the **** flight to the Caribbean this summer

The restaurant in Belfairs cos they threatened to call the police when i refused to pay for a meal that wasn't fit for dogs.

Got me there carl. Was typing that on the I phone in a quiet moment in the pub last night.

I went for Insure & Go when renewing my travel insurance earlier this year and it was solely because they sponsor us.

 

[dashman]

I check all my policies have nothing to do with AIG.

 

[dashman]

I also changed from Insure&Go as they had my policy with AIG!

I know I'm sad.........

Good call Andy, I don't buy anything French on the same basis, great country shame about the inhabitants.

I would concur but for the people whom live in Bretagne, this region is very different from the other frogs - therefore I cannot put France in room 101!

 

[steveo]

would probably be fair to include Normandy as well there Dashman

yeah same here, i've used them the last few times and then decided to check the prices and they seem to be really good value. also had to make a claim for a full refund earlier this summer and they refunded it without a quibble and really quickly


however i definitely won't be buying Sharpies markers!
