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!

Definitely weather forecasters. Doubly so for the "forecasters" who spend three quarters of their alloted air time telling us what happened earlier.

Giving every weather front that comes across the Atlantic a stupid name.

I don't know what can be done about it, but the empty bin slalom when bin day is very windy.

Waiting staff that attempt to take my plate before I have finished my meal, I was only half way through my baguette at the first attempt, 2 further attempts and the final successful one when I was still chewing the last bite

This morning, it was unintelligent commuters. A lady in her 60-70's boards the bus with a walking stick and is clearly struggling. All passengers seated at the front notice her and it needs the bus driver to tell them that the lady needs a seat.

Then, about a dozen people (not schoolchildren or even adolescents) push onto a packed tram while many people are still trying to get off. Home working is so much more pleasant when you don't have to travel with idiots.

- that is really annoying MrsJ

What appears to be ALL the leaves that have been sitting under the trees on the village green now sitting on and dancing around my driveway. All that is, apart from the ones that came into the house with me when I opened the door.

That is not unintelligence SP, it is selfishness and rudeness which seem to be of increasing prevalence.

Supermarkets encouraging people to buy stuff specially to make pancakes on a specific day of the year.

Not in the spirit. TOTALLY not in the spirit.

Being tricked when trying to buy clementines. I'm trying to eat (and now given up) something called "Sweetclems" sold to me by Asda with the word "sweet" boldly marked 6 times all over the wrapper. They are neither clementines nor sweet. They are, in fact, mandarins that are as sour as anything. :-p And they have seeds in. I will be taking them back and getting my money back.
