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!

Some people...

Watching a seal in the sea at St Mary’s island and a family were down on the rocks only 5-10 metres from the poor thing despite signs saying ‘do not go on the rocks and keep your distance from the seals’. They then ignored the one way system on the island (for social distancing).

On the way back over the causeway passing a different family and one of the boys threw a rock at my friend. The parent (On the phone) just shrugged slightly and looked faintly apologetic but said nothing to the child who was at least 10-12 and should probably know better.

What is wrong with people?

Supposedly inspirational quotes on FB along the lines of “this random creature goes through this amazing hardship/transformation/whatever, so don’t give up and carry on”. WTAF has that got to do with anything that anyone is going through?

Cycling up a road today with signs saying that it's going to be re-surfaced on Tues/Wed when it's a perfectly adequate side road into a dead end. The road only have one long running repair in it, the council should look at just about every other road in the borough that needs resurfacing before that road.
