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.

15/15, 9 entirely on prior knowledge because I've visited so many times that I remember what the signs say.

I came across this on Duolingo. I've put it in that forum too but I think it also belongs here!

As opposed to a pop-up shop, presumably?

I got 5, 9 and 13 wrong. I have no knowledge of the actual places/clubs. And I was lucky to guess 14 and 15 correctly.

I've just completed an online survey from Ipsos. In the section about car ownership, one of the questions asks whether, in the future, I might "make less car journeys".

Good grief.

13/15 in the apostrophe test. 13 and 15 wrong. I suppose All Saints don't have an apostrophe either. And All Saints doesn't neither.
