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!

[AR that's been happening here too - a cul de sac with approx 20 houses got a lovely new surface a few weeks ago, while the road it turns off from is a nightmare and is ignored. I think it's something to do with parish councillors having a budget for some work but it's not enough for worthwhile repairs.]

FB friends saying it’s so cold today that they’ve had to put the heating on. What do they do when it actually gets cold?

The cooler weather has forced me to put socks on for the first time (apart from running) since the spring. :)

Willy-waving about how long you can hold out before putting the heating on. (Ours is on. Me putting on socks and a jumper won't stop wet cycling kit going mouldy.)

Web sites (or any data entry screen) that won't accpet formatted phone numbers and rejects it if I put spaces in.
Lazy programming not thinking of the user and readability.
