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!

A letter from "Matt", Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

It is addressed to me, therefore the word "you" in the letter ought to apply to me. It doesn't always. These are consecutive sentences in one paragraph: "Those children whose doctors have confirmed that they are .. vulnerable are advised not to attend school..... Your school will make .. arrangements for you to be able to continue your education..."

On the contrary. I think "Matt" should learn Latin and then be grateful that basic English is so much simpler.

Or 'DON'T COMMENT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PLAY ALONG'.

You're not the boss of me.
