EH11_2NL Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I've probably owned about 10 or so cars and the vast majority have been Vauxhall (Corsas and Astras) and a few bikes (1 Suzuki and the rest Kawasaki). I tend to stick with what I know even if there are better or cheaper alternatives. 90% of my running trainers have been New Balance. Do you choose on price, name or what you are most familiar with?

Tazio Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Probably brand loyal in a few things. Always buy Levi’s, normally Adidas trainers. I’ve owned loads of different cars but my last 3 have all been Mercedes and if I was looking to get back into car ownership I’d definitely go that way.

A Boy Named Crow Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) I hate trying on clothes, so I stick to Uniqlo for shorts, casual shirts etc because I know I can just walk in and scoop up everything I like in an L and it will fit just fine. Likewise for work shirts, I know my measurements for TM Lewin just buy them online whenever there’s a sale. For other things, no brand loyalty at all..I’m about to ditch my iPhone 8, probably for a Samsung, but who knows?

Unknown user Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I've been getting samsung phones since the s3 because they're decent quality, reliable, basically a known quantity. I wouldn't think twice about going with someone else if I had a reason though so I wouldn't call it loyalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjack Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Usually always Adidas trainers, Levi's jeans and denim jacket, Samsung phones for years. Most of my cars have been Vauxhall, however, after switching to BMW for the first time, car make has now changed, it's the not having to use indicators that swing it for me.

Салатные палочки Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I agree on the Levis. I can't bring myself to buy anything other than 511's. Nothing else feels right. I mentioned before that I bought a pair of Lois jeans a few years ago and loved the fit and feel. But they lasted a few months before the first hole appeared. Get a couple of years out of Levis if I'm wearing them regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Pro Samsung; anti Apple Pro Morrisons; anti Waitrose Marks and Spencer pants; never any need to look elsewhere Like others, jeans are mainly Levis, although I went disloyal and picked up a pair of Hilfigers at TK Maxx 'cos they were there and they fitted. Spyder ski-wear Schwalbe tyres Trainers & boots all happen to be adidas but I wouldn't say I'm loyal to them. Loake office shoes, though; haven't worn anything else in about 20 years. Heinz beans Hoover for vacuum cleaners (but that's almost an OCD thing as it gets my back up when folk talk about 'hoovering' when they're using a Dyson or a Henry, etc. - I might have mentioned it in the 'seethe' thread.)

No. I choose whatever I like the look of or what is well reviewed, with consideration for value for money. My cars have all been different manufacturers, I own several pairs of trainers/shoes, all different brands. My golf irons, driver/woods, putter and wedges are all different brands. My phones in recent years have varied from Sony to Samsung to Huawei. The only brand I've stayed loyal to my whole life has been Hearts FC.

Cruyff Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I only wear Levi's jeans, 501's or 511's. They must have a button fly. Jeans without button flys aren't really jeans. I only wear Calvin Klein boxers. Only drink Tetley's Tea and will only drink tea if I make it myself. Pepsi Max over Coca-Cola Lurpak butter, always. Heinz Tomato sauce. Warburtons bread, the blue packet. Can't think of anymore tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those in the list, the only one I ever bother about is Tippex. I'll say 'liquid paper' or 'white out' just to mix it up. Doesn't really bother me, though.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Most of the coats and jackets I have are from River Island, Otherwise I am not drawn to any clothes shop in particular. Alpen is still a favourite muesli, the others have too many nuts in them for my liking. Harvieston Beers I have liked for many years and I will usually buy at least one bottle. That is all the brands I can think of right now that I stick to on a regular basis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gorgie Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 When it comes to jeans, polo shirts, jumpers, jackets and trianers I'll only wear branded. Socks and boxers i couldn't care less. I've owned a few cars so have no loyalty to any brand but it would either be Ford or BMW as they've been the cars i enjoyed the most.

It's certainly made me aware what brands I won't be switching to if I ever have a change of heart. Oh, and Google. Google pixel, Google Chromecast, Google search engine, Google home. LG for tv.

IronJambo Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Having had 7 different cars and 7 different makes I don't think so. I'm loyal to a point with clothes but if it stops working for me then I'm onto another brand. It's about sizing, quality, availability and cost. Then if every other dick in the street is wearing it then I won't touch it. Superdry for example, have been dead to me for around ten years.
