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!

The "Seasonal" aisle in Asda filled with nappies, washing powder and various other stuff. When I queried it with a passing member of staff (who must have had a sense of humour bypass) he said that there wasn't a season at the moment and it was too early for Haloween which was the next season. Why then, do they have tons of those round things full of Quality Street etc stacked sky high on the way in the door?

How is it too early for Halloween but not too early for Christmas? Retail thinking is inexplicable

Is anyone else getting those really, really stupid 'how to throw your gum away' adverts on bus stops and buses, or is it just my borough council?

A dangerous dog owner who doesn't consider their dog dangerous. This horrible mutt is so highly strung every muscle in it's body has an involuntary twitch. Worst thing is the dog and owner don't even live on the property, they're only looking after it whilst the owners are on holiday!
