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 think I saw that lad when I was doing the 10k, I commented that he didn't have a number as he was too young but he was accompanying his female relative and egging her on.

I don't think it's an unreasonable sort of challenge for a fit 13-year-old with an accompanying adult, although it's against the rules of the event.

TommyK - I had similar issues with my uncles estate and Scottish Power, ended going through the complaints procedure and to the ombudsman. Note down everything you do as evidence in case you need it

@Rosehip - presume that was young master M.E.? I did raise an eyebrow when I saw it on his dad's social media. Having just looked at the race photos, he did have a race number on, and is listed in the results under his real name. Having known his dad I'm not surprised, and his first name is no coincidence!

BBC Breakfast presenters mispronouncing 'harassment'.

On second thoughts, the sexual harassment itself.
