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!

Think I would go with Dio's selection except a bit of fried bread added to soak up the runny yolk :-)

(Be careful about just ignoring the GDRP emails, some of them (ironically) say let us know if you don’t want to continue receiving our communications.)

[Me too M_N, but I have had a number of emails saying “if you don’t respond, we’ll assume you want to stay on our list”]

When you sign up, yes, and when you log in you have to tick the boxes to confirm your opt-in, but some of them are taking the approach (correctly or incorrectly) that if you don’t respond you accept the status quo.

GDPR requires an opt-in not an opt-out, so those doing the latter run the risk of prosecution when they eventually enforce it. If you want to, save the 'opt-out' notifications and then report them on May 26th :-)
