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!

+1 for the annoying car wash people. I’ve started parking at the other end of the car park to them and try and sneak out of my car when they aren’t looking in my direction.

When you plug your phone in to charge anywhere near any sort of speaker and it just keeps popping and fizzing and feedbacking.

When you have all agreed to leave at a set time and you all have to wait for that one person still in the shower.

The pretentious car adverts that take up half the preview time at my local cinema.

Having to call an operative to the self service till every time I'm buying a can of red bull. It was bad enough when it was alcohol but now it's energy drinks too.

Went to a stationers yesterday for some printer cartridges. Shop had a problem with its chip & PIN machine, so cash only. This had been faulty since Christmas but not fixed. Didn't have enough cash on me but had enough if they used my loyalty points - told no.

Came back from ATM with cash and paid for cartridges. However, they were still able to swipe my loyalty card and add the new points. What is the point of a loyalty card accumulating points if you can't use it to spend in the shop?

Is it one of those daft loyalty cards that only let you use the points when you have the full amount, some places don't allow part payment with them.

Not sure to be honest. But apart from Nectar and Tesco Clubcard, a lot of loyalty cards don't explain everything.

People who kindly make me a cup of tea (ooohh thank you very much) but then don't fill it to the top of the mug/cup.
Almost everyone I know only half fills the cup. They'd complain if their pint glass wasn't full to the top.
