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!

And getting bonus points at the rate of 40-60% of the points I get for answering questions.

And being invited to gamble with my points.

And in fact having points anyway.

Hotels that *make* the bed every day, meaning you have to untuck the entire top layer, then retuck the bottom sheet back in. And they keep sticking those stupid pointless pillows back on the bed too. Ffs, I wish they'd just leave it alone!!

The first thing I do in a hotel room is remove all the excess covers and cushions/pillows from the bed and stuff them in the top of the wardrobe. They usually get left there.

+1 fetch on the phone shop. Vodafone lost a customer because of that... Especially if you are queuing for a click and sodding collect

Most of the other people at the Christmas market today. Bugger off with your dawdling and standing in awkward places and let me move about freely.

People who bang on microphones to see if they're working. Ask whoever is in charge of sound. If you don't know who it is, you probably shouldn't be in front of the mic in the first place, and whether or not you do, quit bashing other people's expensive equipment.

We have a local(ish) business whose main product is cheesecake. I like cheesecake and I'd like to support them, but nearly all their cheesecake recipes include chocolate. I like chocolate, but not in the same confection as cheesecake.
