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!

[Spectrum always reminds me of Captain Scarlet, which is probably because it's the first time I came across the word long before I did anything about understanding rainbows! re "People who are on the spectrum" - I always want to ask which spectrum, but it's usually inappropriate!]

The number of social media posts that begin with “when”. It seems to be taking over from “so”.
