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!

I was quite in favour when Birmingham tried to rebrand Christmas as "Winterval" a few decades ago. But "holidays" are a bucket and spade at the seaside in summer.

[Winterval was a season that took in Christmas as well as Diwali, Children in Need, and New Years Eve amongst lots of other winter events.]

Holy days are spread quite evenly through out the year - there are tons, if one isn't fussy about the religion, in December.

That the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care sends me letters and signs them “Matt”.

I wouldn’t send you a letter and sign it “Mike”
