Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What do/would you miss about your job?

I worked from home for nearly 4 years so didn’t have office banter in that time, I know having the extra income gave me more opportunities but I can manage without so I don’t really miss that either.

I was at a leaving night for a colleague on Friday. He has had enough and describes it as toxic. He isnt yet ready or able to retire but has nothing to go to yet.

The chat on Friday was who is next and also how many as there are a lot of people in the mid to late 50s who could go at any time. A huge knowledge gap could appear but there seems to be no thought to how they will deal with that.

Being paid to ride bikes, alley cat races and the whole bike courier scene in general......

Of course the money is terrible, winter sucks, cops hate us, DPD drivers try to kill us, junkies try to mug us and scrotes try to steal our bikes 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I used to love my old job, but not the people.

I used to be a cinema projectionist (pre-Digital) up to 2007, and I loved it. The only problem with the people was that, because they would only see me if there was a problem, they didn't like to see me. Unless they were asking for a staff screening of course.

Crap pay, but the amount of variety in the job was great. I still miss it now :(
