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!

App adverts.

Why do you think that I'm more likely to click on your advert if you force me to watch it for 30 seconds if I haven't already clicked on it after 5 seconds, especially if I've already seen it a dozen times..

Fragile Do Not Bend
The battery in my electric toothbrush is failing. A light on it used to flash to tell me it needed charging but now it gives me a few brushes at normal speed before conking out halfway through the next brush. Then the light flashes as if to mock me.

My husband”s toothbrush was bought at the same time as part of a pack of two. And it’s fine.

Yogurt with separate fruit in a corner.

Why??? What’s the point???

If you want fruit flavoured yogurt then just buy it with fruit added in already. What’s the point of having it separate if you want to add it later? If you don’t want fruit flavoured yogurt then don’t buy it!

How about the blue packet of salt in crisps - only the same as ready salted?

No, because you can add just some of the salt!

Yoghurt though, how is it so fucking hard to buy normal yoghurt? It’s only about 3% fat, that’s negligible yet everything is either fat free so tastes horrible or has extra cream added or is fucking weird random fake vegan yogurt or Skyr which WTF is that even and can I just have a normal fucking yoghurt in a nice flavour please?

Get plain yogurt and add jam to taste (see above, passim).

People that thank me for waiting for them to pass when had they gone single file we could have passed with no-one having to stop and step aside, particularly annoying when I was the one running up hill, whilst they were ambling down.
