3 bottom brackets in 3 years... WHY?

I have a Ridgeback Panorama. I have had to replace the bottom bracket yearly despite not completing nearly the required mileage RE needing a replacement. What could be wrong with the bike? or whatever ?
I am not technically minded tbh. . . .any ideas gratefully recieved

Doesn't seem fair to give a proper cruddie answer.

All this without going near a trail or rough ground, just my daily commute to work which is only 13 miles round trip over a path
my bike is a carrera vulcan disc 2009, never buying a bike from halfords again, poor service and rude staff
Seeing as the components are common to millions of bikes, I suggest you are rubbish at maintenance.
Or something.

BB30? If the shell is slightly too small you may crush the bearings.

Er, yeah, total bollocks.
And that's GXP which everyone slates as being rubbish. Perfectly fine if you fit them right (err, read the instructions, 10 minute job, dead easy). Oh, and I don't face frames either :P (arguably GXP doesn't need it but that's a matter of somewhat heated debate opinion. Frankly the fact I've not needed to replace a BB in 4 years says something).

Ah, yes, didn't read that, was thinking Boardman or sommat!
A sterling point!
I'm not technically minded either but i'm always happy to inspect a young lady's bottom bracket for unnecessary damage.
In fact I have a friend who's girlfriends bottom bracket gets smashed apart every year, usually around his birthday.
welcome to the crudcatcher gail, its a dark, sorrowful place with more innuendo than a weekend with Bruno Tonioni
