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!

Tomorrow's challenge is to do a R.A.O.K.

To help people get some ideas about things they can do, it'd be great if you can post your suggestions here :-)

For example, you could send a Christmas card to a random person who lives somewhere near you. Or leave a copy of a book you really like, with a note inviting the finder to keep it. Or buy a chocolate bar when you're in the shop, and tell the person at the counter that it's for the next person at the till.

Post your ideas here :-)

When you do your supermarket shop - if it is a store with a loyalty card points scheme say you don't have a card and offer the person behind you in the queue to swipe theirs instead and get your points.

Raptors Claws are coming to town
If you work in a place where it would be appropriate, take something that you don't use but someone else might appreciate and leave it with a message inviting people to take it.

I did that once with a stack of s'lebby cookbooks - Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, that sort of stuff. They were all gone within two days. And occasional donations of crockery and cutlery have melted into the staff kitchen, which reminds me of what my RAOK tomorrow could be ... :)

Let someone go ahead of you in a queue?

I was thinking of putting together a little selection of our home bakes for our neighbour but that will have to wait 'til later in the week.

Letting the person behind you in the queue go first. Donate the extra item in a 3 for 2 to a local cause. Leave a note for someone you admire telling them why you think they are great.

If you are in a supermarket buy a sandwich and give it to the next homeless person you see (if there are usually where you shop)

I know car park operators don't like people doing this but....... If you buy a car park ticket and the minimum time you can buy for is much longer than you need (say you can only buy for an hour but you only need 15 mins) then stick the ticket to the paying machine when you leave the car park so someone else can have your 45 minutes for free (this probably won't work if you pay for parking by text ;-) )

Leave for work 5 minutes earlier and let at least one person out of every side street with a cheery wave.
