I hate

SE London, thick clay underneath, have a big dog and a high fence all around because of big dog. I really don't care about having a bowling green but don't want a muddy bog that needs a lot of energy to get it going. In one weekend i was able to build a big planter out of reclaimed wood and bring some greenery to a depressing slated area which is now full of life.

I also hate plastic bushes and hedges
Anyone up for some justification?

Plastic bush? Couldn’t you get a real hair merkin?

Yup, shade, poor drainage and heavy use (including pets, paddling pools etc.) make many small lawns far more hassle than they're worth.

Both our neighbours gardens hold water when we have a heavy downpour, no such issues with my devil lawn.

@jono84 I'm trying to work out if that's a good thing. Lawns being waterlogged makes maintaining a lawn very difficult, but it suggests that the water is at least being held before percolating slowly downwards. Fake grass drains really well, which could mean that the water gets into the subsoil quite quickly. I don't know whether that's good or bad, but it's obviously 100% better than paving, which has instantaneous runoff.

Yes, they're a vital part of my Lego town theme set

Just look how happy these people are!

If we’re going to ban plastic lawns then we should also ban the domestic use of herbicides / pesticides / chemical fertilisers.

A garden with a fake lawn but otherwise organically maintained borders is going to be far better for wildlife than a garden with a real lawn that’s been sprayed to within an inch of its life with poison.

No, but reminds me of my granny, an avid gardener and always a bit eccentric - but moreso as time went on.

As she got older she remodeled her garden to reduce the work. This included planting a number of strategically fake plants.

No argument there

Apart from the fake lawn.

Just because I think plastic grass is an atrocity, it doesn’t make me pro monoculture lawn

My nan was Shimano 'til she died.

I hate it when you get a burrito that's really dry, but I also hate it when the burrito filling is really wet and the whole thing falls apart on the last few bites.

the burrito filling is really wet and the whole thing falls apart on the last few bites.

That is the sign of a great burrito. Even better if it is from all the Choloula sauce you have been dumping on every bite. The last bites should be the explosion of a spicy aquifer created from excess sauce that has percolated through the layers of rice and beans and meat.

WTH hats. Do you even burrito?

But wet soggy bits of tortilla flapping about and sticking to your fingers as you try to eat it, while the remaining filling falls out? I don't like it.

You mean you haven’t mastered the art of eating a burrito with chopsticks yet? Go work on your grip.

Party in your car then dumping the wrappers kerbside, never gets not I hate.

Pick them up and keep them chilled in the fridge ready to use in your next murder. #paybacksabitch

That is the best part!

But it's almost as bad as those mushroom burgers with the giant flat mushroom (can't remember what they're called...) that falls out the back when you take a bite of the burger!

OK I’m seeing the issue here. You need a sacrificial finger that you put at the back of the burger or bottom of the wrap to hold it together while accepting it’s going to get gunked up with greasy sauces. Licking said finger clean is probably the best end to a meal as all the congealed sauces mix with whatever detritus was there before.

The burrito place in Granville arcade wraps the bottom so nicely that you just get left to pick at the pool in the bottom, no spillage.

I'm not licking anything in this day and age.

Portobello? Jeez. I hate when pubs and restaurants consider those godawful things to be their veggie burger option

That's the one. Giant soggy congealed snot of a food stuff.

Same with kebabs, the last bits of the pitta/wrap should be saturated with a mixture of chili and yoghurt sauce.
