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!

People getting their knickers in a twist because they need to prove they've bought something before Waitrose will give them their free coffee. It's free coffee! Stop moaning, Waitrose don't have to give you free coffee, it's not a standard customer service tool.

Journalists who think people getting all up in arms about Waitrose's new rule is 'news' and justifies column inches.

How daft - at our Waitrose you can only get the cup from a till so that manages the check that you've actually spent the right amount to be entitled to the coffee. They changed that a couple of years ago, so it's *really* not "news".

People who go to Waitrose for free coffee. The tightfisted fucks, just stop wandering round the fucking shop sipping your latte like a giant fucking toddler. Go sit down and drink your fucking coffee, I bet you're the sort of miserable old bugger who bitches about young people eating on the street. And it's not 'free', I pay for it through *my* bill thanks very much.

Little girls shoes being all open on the top and in ridiculous colours. Hopeless for crawling on the grass/mud/sand etc in. And pink ffs.

Everyone assuming Squeak is a boy because she doesn't particularly wear pink, or wear dresses (& is still pretty bald).

Whilst we are on baby clothes - baby headbands. What's the point of a headband when the wearer doesn't have enough hair to need one?

To show it's a girl, obviously

I still keep referring to my cousin's kid as a girl. He's 4, has a name which could be either sex, and has long hair. And neither her other boy or girl have particularly long hair, no wonder I'm confused. But actually it doesn't really matter at all what gender they are till they start sprouting bits in puberty in my book. There's a raft of research showing how differently people treat babies when they think it's one gender and it's actually the other. Quite scary really. These people then probably think that differences are innate...
