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!

Crappy, incompetent GPs.

I've had low folate and B12 levels for 3 years. Been given wrong doses of injection and tablets, none of the GPs agree on a reason or a treatment. Tested again with low folate and when I told the GP that I had been feeling unwell, he said it can't be from the low folate, without asking what my symptoms were. Another dose of tablets. Oh and eat some green leafy vegetables. I wish I could have punched him.

People in the office who are sat next to you, can clearly see you are in the middle of typing an email, yet just go ahead and ask their (unimportant) question anyway, forcing you to stop what you were doing and lose track of what you were trying to say.

People who park on the pavement outside or near the school where I work. Had heated discussion with 'white van man' (and his mate!) about how it would be impossible for a child on a scooter, or someone with a pushchair to get past, when he then blamed me for holding him up! I'm afraid I gave him my teacher 'death stare' and told him to move his van! Good job I couldn't lip read his response (though wasn't hard to guess 😡🤬).

People who pile up crap outside local charity shops after they have closed, regardless of the weather (saw a lady in a Range Rover doing this as I drove home this evening....all manner of stuff)

Online fundraisers for pets veterinary care. Relatedly, a local newspaper report stating that a dog had been bitten in the arm. Dogs do not have arms, they have four legs*.

* Generally. There are, or were, at least three three-legged dogs around town.
