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, however well meaning, quoting statistics which are either total bullshit or completely without context.

Is Person X suggesting that cause Y is really killing over three-quarters of a million in the UK every year? Or is that worldwide? Would there be any reliable basis for such a statistic should it be worldwide?

Or am I grinding my own gears for bothering about such a thing in the face of someone else's personal tragedy?

People in work opening the window as soon as they get into the office (i.e. before 7am) regardless of the weather. Yes, it's a sunny day, but at this time on a spring morning it's not exactly warm.
