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!

[Chris - right click on the weather icon, up to "News and interests" and click "turn off". That's what worked for me last week at least.]

[It screwed up a fair few work PCs. The news & weather feature is turned off in our IT policies to preserve bandwidth over the VPN. MS are a right pain, sometimes! ]

Emails from companies saying “you left items in your basket and you didn’t check out” when the reason was they didn’t deliver to my area, or there was an error with their card payment system.

Especially when you reply to tell them why you didn’t check out and asking for assistance, but it’s a no reply email address
