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!

Exactly D2 because they’re shit wellies. They fail at being wellies.

There’s an abandoned pair in my press office and I have an idea which of the dozy women in my team wore them in today. I think she lives in Clapham. That’s all you need to know.

[I used to in the same town as where Hunter Wellies were made, before production shipped abroad, when I was a kid and I do have a pair of blue Huntress ones. They have lasted me at least 20 years and are still going strong!]

The uk made ones apparently are v good. Apparently you’ll be lucky to get a year’s wear out of the Chinese ones and they leak. The ones in my press office are suffering with significant colour fade

As wonderful as Kate Moss is, she is also responsible for the western world wearing Ugg boots as outdoor shoes.

Mine are a good couple of years old but still fine too, completely water tight and (slightly) more comfortable than my mate's mega-bucks Le Chameaus (or should that be Les Chameaux ?).

Parents on crowded trains who don’t put have their small children on their lap but rather have them on a seat. And listening to stuff on an iPad without headphones. Selfish buggers.

When I was a child, young children were to sit on their parent's lap if public transport got busy plus a child was never allowed to occupy a seat at the expense of a fare-paying adult.

It gets my back up when small children get onto public transport during the rush hour and whine so much that they want a seat, that a passenger gives in just to shut them up.
