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!

Grammar pedants - help please.

I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility: I resign. A week later I get the job back.

It seems that resigning had the desired effect on the PM, and now she is forgiven, or the error is conveniently forgotten.

I think it's widely recognised that the "error" was a convenient excuse she used to facilitate her resignation.

In the Royal Repair Shop episode I'm sure the vase commemorating Queen Victoria's 60th anniversary was missing an apostrophe.

I wonder if Ms Coffey has forbidden the Oxford comma in her new role as Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and if its use has been explicitly permitted in the Dept of Health.
