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!

It was a combination of being thoroughly patronising, huffing when I asked to borrow their pen (to sign the form they insist you sign in front of them), being very impatient, incapable of coping with 2 people in front of the same window at once (you had to swap with the other runner no less than 3 times), telling me to be very careful with the envelope because it was open at the top, and generally treating me like an imbecile. Being in a suit and a bit distracted having just come from a fixed income interview in the City clearly made me look like some sort of vacant amateur.

What's wrong with putting a number and a chip in an envelope and sticking it in the post?

(Rhetorical question, I really don't want to start a whole debate about the validity or otherwise of expos)
