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!

Day out at a local theme park and ended up having words with other parents when their kids push in front of mine whilst the parents just watched!! It was a ride for under 5's. FFS if you can't be bothered teaching them some manners what chance have they got.

1. People who don't use mini roundabouts properly.

2. The fact that so many people don't use mini roundabouts properly means that my proper use of them seems confusing to people, even though I'm also using my indicators properly.

I don't indicate when leaving a mini roundabout, but indicate left or right on my approach as I would do at a junction. I quite often drive over them too, as they're quite silly. Does that grind your gears?

Remembers mini roundabout conversation at work where a colleague was convinced that he didn't have to give way to a car approaching him but indicating right as it was coming towards him and not on his right. He was complaining about the number of near misses he got. We suggested he give way but he couldn't as in his head he was right.

And yes we were mini roundabout designers and other associated highway phaff. :)

FurryH... did he not know how a roundabout worked? A mini roundabout works just the same as any roundabout, it's just smaller. Otherwise it would just be a junction. That man is clearly a bit of an idiot...

Very large women who think it's their right to block the train isle while a massive fucking queue build behind them while they adjust their coat and anything else. Whilst everyone the other side of them gets seated
