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!

Delivery people randomly leaving a pallet with a wrapped up bike in my front garden with no notification of where it belongs or note of apology in my letterbox while I'm out.

Smokers, returning from their 10 minutes standing outside, coming back into a meeting, then sharing their smelly breath / clothes with the room.

(Not in the last few months obviously.. a benefit of working from home..!)

Forms where you have to put each letter of your name and address in its own box.

[the excuse for 'box' forms used to be that scanning software could read them easier. But that was literally 20 years ago and I can't believe things haven't moved on.]

Is it just me that finds them oddly satisfying? I used to wonder why all forms weren’t laid out that way.
