I like brightly coloured cars. For some reason the most fashionable colours have always included depressing grey, funereal black, and boring white. Red is the only common bright colour, but that is rather unimaginative. And since you ask, my present car is yellow, and my last one was orange.
Ahh, me too! Mine is bright, bright green. You need sunglasses on to look at it!
I can't eat aeros or kitkats any more either. Same with galaxy ripples, which I really used to love. Most peculiar taste to them now, IMV.
Proper spelling, punctuation and basic good grammar. I loathe text language and lack of capital letters. In fact, that all makes me grind my teeth. I have been known to rub out wrong spelling on cafe signs, write to publishers about errors which leap out at me. I am a bit more relaxed now....
I wish they'd use text in subtitles for live speech. At least they'd have a chance of keeping up. It could easily be ' translated' using their current technology later if warranted.

Yes, and correct pronunciation too @Grannybee! On the grammar point, I'm currently reading a book by a well known plant specialist, recently published. On one page alone there are three sentences starting with "And"😏.
Pampas grass. I can sense the shock and horror already! The dwarf version though, Pumila, and only grown in the back garden. I've thought of moving it to the front but don't want to get the neighbours talking, they've got enough to talk about already 🤣.
Have to agree about the colour of cars @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool. Mine is a sort of dark red and my OH's is that Peugeot blue. I'd say that 90% of our neighbours have black, grey or dark grey cars.
Over the years my Dad has had a Daytona Yellow Ford Cortina,an orange VW Beetle, then a yellow Datsun Cherry (that he sold to me), and a sagey green coloured Nissan. His current car is a dark blue Toyota.
A few weeks back we parked in a local shopping area, and there amongst a sea of dreary cars was a bright orange Fiat 500 with chrome trim, like a beacon in the darkness. Everyone was looking at it and smiling. I see Fiat have dropped the colour grey, but not black as yet.
Heinz Sandwich Spread - in a brown bread sandwich with grated mature cheddar cheese Nesquik - chocolate Knorr packet soup - spring vegetable & chicken noodle Black forest gateau (what's not to like?) My mum's ration-friendly chicken stuffing mix (breadcrumbs, dried herbs and sauteed onion) Pot noodles - although I suspect I may now be firmly on-trend if I call them instant noodles instead - lots of flavours now and some shops have whole aisles of them.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
On the point of fashion, a friend reminded me of something I said years ago. "Every 10 -15 years me and fashion cross paths, we then happily go our separate ways for another 10 -15." It's usually because I need some item of clothing and it's impossible to buy anything not on trend at the time. (I can't afford bespoke tailoring).
