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!

I noticed the 'so' thing. It sounded like a nervous tick, but I had no reason to doubt her competence.

I suspect someone WILL speak to her about the "so" thing, given that she is going to be interviewed so often. I'm sure any of us would need to have little vocal tics or gestures ironed out if we were in the public eye. (Having seen videos of my consultations, I know what mine is, but you wouldn't see it on the radio.)

Sadly, Zorba, that would fit with my observation :( And it's not just those who can be dismissed as numpties that are going so so so so so. Folk who should know better are at it.

Websites that don't have search filters to distinguish between 'in stock' and 'out of stock'.

That generic fabric conditioner that people use which pongs. When my neighbour's done his washing, you can smell it all around our group of flats and houses. I bought a top from a cheridee shop and it took me about 6 washes to get the smell out.
