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!

[It's not every scandal, Hitch, but I know what you mean; it does my head in too. I thought "Gategate" might have been the last of it, but no. It's lazy journalistic practice, and I think it trivialises serious issues by reducing them to little more than tabloid buzzword bingo: does the current "sexual abuse in football" scandal have a 'gate' suffix yet, or do the tabloids think it's too sensitive an issue to apply it?]

That advert for the dashcam where two kids crash there go-cart things.
How about we teach our youngsters, before they even become drivers to be courteous and how to drive responsibly rather than teach them how to point fingers and make accusations. Then there would be no need for dashcams.
I know the ad isn't about kids, but it really annoys me every time it comes on!

When the Government initiates an industrial dispute and accuses the union involved of "intransigence". First remove the plank from your own eye!
