Nobody anywhere said they liked grot. It shows your comprehension of those discussions is completely wrong.

What I and others have never liked is the unpleasant and blatant snobbery often evident on these forums and the refusal to accept that not everyone can afford or would use certain types of businesses, that what might suit some people may not be any use to others. Ultimately it would be nice to see a balance to suit everyone. That is not the same thing as 'liking grot.'
