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!

[That would wind me up too M_N]

When Mr J (who works in the same building most of the time) tells me to come down to his office at a certain time (today, just after 5pm), I do this, find he’s engrossed in conversation with a colleague, knock on the door, text, but am still waiting outside nearly 15 minutes later.

LD, if you and Carp lived nearer I’d be happy to do it for you both.

Fake reviews on Trip Advisor and the like clearly from the proprietor’s family and friends to bump up the average score and hide the genuine negative ones.

A world where Donald Trump and Piers Morgan can believe they are reasonable, decent, and right.

And also that anybody horribly murdering them might be tried as a criminal rather than celebrated as an heroic humanitarian.

Thanks ER :)

Only one side to do now. And the tall picket fence which is nearly as bad. (And the shed, but that's less annoying.)
