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!

Icecream parlours that state 5pm closing time but close early, was closed when we went there at 4.20 on Monday and again when we went at 2.50 today, guess they have made a mint on holidaymakers so do as they please now :-(

Disappearing bloody teaspoons at work. I bought 4 new ones for the staff room out of my own pocket (they were only 50p each) and a month later they've all vanished.

I make our stationery purchases at work with Office Depot. Thankfully, teaspoons are in their catalogue.

We had a colleague who always left them unwashed somewhere on his desk which was always a mess (cutlery and desk). He's now moved elsewhere and we've saved a few quid in our stationery budget as our teaspoons are where they should be.

[Last time I bought teaspoons, which was within the last year, you could get 6 for 25p in Asda.]
