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!

Bullshit like this

"The results showed that users, when questioned on ‘overall liking, aroma liking, flavour liking, texture liking and appearance liking’, couldn’t separate Arla B.O.B and Arla semi-skimmed milk.

So don’t just take our word for it, but Arla B.O.B really does taste as good as semi-skimmed milk."

Motorists who turn into road where pedestrians are just about to cross and put their indicators on as they're turning. V v common in Bristol.

I've seen a schoolgirl get knocked down in those circumstances, Red Squirrel. Not a very pleasant experience.

XB, I suppose you've read Reginald Perrin or seen series 1. If not, do.

Hope they threw the book at the driver Phil. I know I'm going to see that happen one day. It happens to me every day. I think the highway code states that you need to let people continue to cross who had started. Even more relevant if you hadn't actually been indicating.

So it's a double illegal move. Ban them!

[is that a choice of blog titles, McG? I'll go for the latter, due to my fear of an accompanying video for the former.]
