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!

shocking, JK. S/He needs to go back to manager school and learn that his staff are assets he needs to nurture.

Retail websites where you filter what you want from the entire range, and every time you add a filter, they go away and think. Instead of letting you make all your choices and then go away and think.

Retail websites where you get the range of a dozen items that match your spec, but you cannot discard some of them.

Retail sites that don't let you include ONLY products that are in stock at your local branch/available for delivery now.

+1 for all those Chris.

(A personal bugbear of mine is Evans bikes, where you can filter to just women's bikes but not to just men's bikes)

Lazy editing in films!! I have just been watching the film 'Enigma' with Mr SD. I was not getting distracted by the tramlines in the wheat fields and the flowering oilseed rape! Were these a thing in the Second World War? 😂😂

Fragile Do Not Bend
Clothing retailers’ websites that make it hard to find a size chart, and insist on trying to guess what size you need from your weight, height and age. They always say I’m small or medium when in fact I wear large or XL.

Booking a hotel family room yet only having towel hooks for one or two.

I've paid for a room for four - I expect to use more than one towel..

When the typo in a message means the joke is no longer funny.

(Usually 'cos I'm rushing to get in there first!)
