I would have to say

1) Costco - it's just excellent, chav and tinsel free.
2) Ford - excellent cheap cars.
3) RAC - Due to the unreliable nature of my car, they have helped me out and surpassed my expectations every time.
4) Logitech - never had a bad product from them.


What about you?

Hugo Boss - No big labels, no big logos... just reassuringly expensive!

Sonnetti Jeans (because I can't afford Hugo Boss ones)

Heinz Tomato Sauce

Oh - and I seem to have a collection of Puma Trainers.

Other than that, I'm easily pleased and not too fussed.

Waitrose - for the relaxed and quality shopping experience

Beretta - for the gun I can't ever see myself replacing (and for the boots I know I am getting for Christmas)

Le Chameau - for the finest wellington boots you will ever find

Barbour - for the old and trusty jacket that I have owned for years (and for the new lightweight one I bought earlier this season)

Land Rover - for frustrating me and delighting me in equal measure

Subaru - a recent purchase, but suprisingly capable and as hardy as the Highlands (I will be buying another)

Voss Estate Pinot Noir - Because they sell £50 of wine for £14.99

Taylors Port - Need I say more

Colston Bassett/Cropwell Bishop/Long Clawson Stilton

And that's all I can think of at the moment.

Admiral Insurance - always cheaper than everyone else, and there call centre staff are always friendly.
Hugo Boss - as said above, nice and subtle designs and never see any pikeys wearing it.
Adidas - always buy Adidas trainers.
Samsung - last phone (D500) was indestructible and never want wrong, so I bought another one.

Probably loads more, but those are the main ones
