My cunning plan has worked. I had to work in the London square mile between Christmas and new year so bagged some traffic lights which would normally be snaffled by commuter cyclists and runners. The plan is paying dividends. *evilemoji*

Well Done Dave!

I also think prizes are great (Well done winners!) But they aren't the reason I play!

I've managed to get into the top 20 and the climb has slowed right down now! Can't commute on bike for a while as hubby (ishep) got knocked off it yesterday! :( He's fine, bit bruised, but bike will be out of action for a little bit :(

Hope everyone is getting back into the swing of the new year! x

BarefootEm, not good news about the bike accident: seem to be a lot of them about at the moment.

Any idea on this? I watered a flower today and it has value 20, and I got 20 points for watering today. It must have been 1 before, so how come I got 20 and not extra 19?

It's a feature of the system Philip - has been for a while - if the value of a flower increases as you water it, then you are awarded the new value. Conversely, if the value doesn't change, you get nothing and there is no record of you passing over it.

I'm not sure this is how I'd have chosen to have that part of the code working but it is what it is. Overall, I reckon the few 'extra' points I gain when watering flowers are more than offset by those I don't when the value isn't increased, when a second flower cannot be planted or when a flower dies before harvest because it reached its maximum value in the first two weeks it was on the map. On this basis, I'm insufficiently bothered to make a fuss about the coding.

If I see a bug belonging to someone I used to know but they stopped using Fetch years ago, surely that must mean they've come back to Fetch, mustn't it?

It means they've logged training recently, but if they set up automatic uploads before they stopped using the site, those might still be arriving without them ever coming to the site. Might be worth looking at their user page's mileage tab - if that has a load of zeroes until recently, they're more likely to be back.
