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!

Tell them to return them to sender and buy them from someone more convenient...

I always get stuff delivered to work... winds up reception no end with the number of parcels we get here for everyone, but no one can be at home for deliveries.

The ticket website for the Paralympics. So frustrating last night, I spent 50 minutes trying to get "available" tickets with no luck

Not as bad as the bloody cars that do it though, I always pull in front of them. I am nice most of the time.

I reckon there are cars stopped in the bike area about 50% of the time round these parts.

The charity backgrounds on theis site! I don't mind the ads , but this pink CLIC Sargent background is really annoying. Makes me not want to support them.

Southwark Council have sneakily extended the double yellow lines on all the roads near my house. I suspect this is a precursor to the introduction of permits, which will of course be necessary due to the increased pressure on parking. Bastards

Asking for guidance in your new job to be given the run around and wrong information which subsequently make me look like an incompetent twit!!
