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!

Shops that put festive packaging on something and then sell it for more money than the same thing in normal packaging.

I’m looking at you, Waitrose, with your ‘Christmas Cashews’.

Being told that the difference between being a caring person and being a hypocrite who only pretends to be a caring person is the willingness to copy and paste a long spiel of burble to my facebook timeline, thereby saying to anyone who reads it that I subscribe to this belief and, in the process, implying that I'm personally soliciting bracketty hugs and assurances that people are There For Me If You Need Me Huni.

Nasty. Possibly even nastier than chain letters asking for money.

Pedestrian lights that take ages to turn green.

Pedestrian lights that take you into the centre of a road so you can hang around again with busy traffic whizzing on either side while the other half of the light system takes an eternity.

I think, for 2017, it is still Louise Minchin for not knowing what a "penny in the pound" on tax means, she is as thick as mince, and gawps like a goldfish.

To even it up, Mr Dan Walker is a total twat.

People not wearing Ugg boots, or any sort of boots, or even socks, in this weather and whining about cold feet.
