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!

Yes those, plus companies which are ALWAYS ‘experiencing unprecedentedly high call volumes’. It’s not unprecedented if it’s been happening for years. Employ more fucking staff to answer the phones, you incompetent wankmuffins

[When I were a lad Staycation meant the same as going to Argate for holiday i.e. staying at home and not going anywhere for holiday. Now Staycation means simply not going abroad ffs]

Yoghurt with water in it. Especially when it's mean to be "premium" yoghurt. Especially, especially when it then has extra starch added.

And - yoghurts being absolutely laden with sugar.

[ And "light" yoghurts in general. Whipped in air and water and starch.....

If I wanted less actual yoghurt, I'd eat a smaller portion. ]

Ice cream being sold by volume not weight, as the cheap stuff has more air whipped in.

[Two of us at work once spent ages trying o get through to the company that supplies the bedside TV and 'phone to sort out what the patient had already paid for. Hearing "we're sure you understand we have been working extra hard and experiencing unprecedented demand due to covid" was utterly infuriating on our end.]

Some friends posted pictures of their Covid vaccination cards on FB, they had the AZ vaccine.

Someone commented “ Yay, you've stayed British - well done, us too!” which is the most asinine comment ever, dumb on so many levels.

I resisting the urge to respond.
