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!

The ones where you think they're heartfelt then after reading 4 paragraphs find it's a copy and paste.

Black Friday. The only good thing about it was the song by Steely Dan. As a retail event it just serves to show the kind of margins being applied. Remember that the sellers are still making a profit at the discounted prices so go figure how much more they are making at "full" price.

I would rather imagine that Black Friday is mostly for clearing stuff that's otherwise unwanted, with a few loss-leaders to get headlines and interest.
