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!

'Ninja' runners - how much does some reflective gubbins or a few little lights cost ?

'Sports presenters' on TV News, particularly BBC breakfast. Reading from a newspaper and pointing to a photo could be done by anyone. It's not that special and doesn't need a much heralded 'spot' to carry out.

Radio 5 Live and their use of autotune in the adverts (F1 is the main culprit, but also used to excite the masses over football)

That nobody seems to be pointing out the reason for todays car accident, and what the police might do normally.

Re WS' post above, the fact that the BBC *still* had a 'news' reporter from the site of the accident on the lunchtime news. We were supposed to feel better informed about something that is of really minor importance to the vast majority of licence fee payers by being shown pictures of broken glass and plastic. FFS.

Reporter still on the scene, despite it now being pitch black. Completely pointless.

Individual complaining that Phil hasn't even said sorry about the car crash

Does she want ££, or for Phil to send round his grand-daughter in law and the kids with some flowers for a photo-op this afternoon?
