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!

Newsreaders being made to stand up and looking really uncomfortable while wiggling a piece of paper in their hands.

^ To Fleecy...

So many slow down to 60, or even 50 going through it when the limit is still 70. What's worse is they often do this in the outside lane which, as you are not supposed to change lane in the tunnel, often causes both lanes to be slow.

It's odd, the tunnel makes me want to slow down even thought it's full of "national speed limit" signs. It is probably a huge achievement by the designers.

People who don't indicate so I stop my bicycle on a hill when I didn't have to.

Twats who stand in the road.

My commute to work this morning.

Bus stop is 250 yards from home. TfL gives the bus as coming in six minutes, only for me to step out of the door straight away and watch it go past. Ages to wait for the next one. Next bus is almost empty but takes so long that I miss my connecting tram and wait longer than usual for the next one as well. Then you have the numpties who play their media devices too loud or stand with their rucksacks in your midriff.

More annoying is that if the proposed tram strike had gone ahead, I would have been working from home and avoided all this morning's gear-grinding altogether.

People who go out running in the evening in dark clothes with no lights.

...and idiots who don't dip their headlights when they see runners or other pedestrians!!

Shallow people who present a image of who they are and then you learn they are not that person at all.
