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!

If you've got a reasonably savvy phone, could you try visiting this URL:

If you stick them into google maps, in this format e.g.

51.12345 , 0.12345

it should show you the exact location - and it should be where you are :-)

iPhone 6+ and iPhone 5.

They gave slightly different coordinates but agree to two decimal places.
