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!

When a company advertises something on FB, you really like it, so click through to find out more....and that very thing isn't actually available anywhere on the website (in this case, a dress).

Amazon saying that Hermes have my parcel. Hermes saying that Amazon has my parcel. Me knowing that I don't have my parcel. This coinciding with my boy's birthday.

Google saying they have sent my parcel
Royal Mail saying the have it
Royal Mail saying they misdelivered it to their own depot
Being unable to track it as they do not have the same postcode as Google do.

Hermes saying we’re going to have to delay your delivery... 3 times in one day. And then not turning up after all. 😡

Still waiting.

Pop-up this. Pop-up that. Pop-up every-fucking-thing.

And if you are staying indoors on your own you are isolating. Just isolating. No need for “self”. Self is very much implied when you say I am isolating.

I agree XB, the self bit annoys me
The Hermes thing doesn’t annoy me as my local pub landlady does their deliveries, and she would make sure I got my parcel. And if not, I’d visit the pub!

Forms in word that are so badly formatted they are a nightmare to fill in. I had to contend with random text formatting (including what I think was white text on a white background in one box leading to disappearing text!), boxes to tick that involved cutting and pasting a ticked box symbol, and random bullet point numbering which then changed the numbers of all future questions when you tried entering a comment. This led to a form which already took around 25 minutes to complete, taking much longer and all past the time I should have finished work.
