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!

[Um - totally agree. Our landline (yes, we still have one!) only has five digits, which causes all sorts of issues!].

Over enthusiastic staff at self service checkouts who hover over your shoulder and bark instructions when I HAVEN'T ASKED FOR ANY!

Those poxy self-service checkouts, that are slower than I am, that have faulty/insensitive touch screens, and particularly those that tell you and ask "This machine accepts card payments only. Do you want to continue?" and then at the end of the process ask "How would you like to pay?"

Derr.....

Autocorrect on my 'phone which does random stuff, such as changing 'ran' to 'ram'. Which word do I type often? So am I really likely to have wanted to type 'ram' but misspelled it?

About as likely as I am to have wanted to type "ducking" but misspelled it, Carp ;)

My 'phone has given up trying on that one V'rap, and accepted its fate.
