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!

You always get a better deal booking directly, especially with small business and private owners. It's better for them, too, as they take all the money.

People who wait for their kids at pick up time with the engine running.

not to mention those for whom there is a special parking place reserved directly outside the school, marked with 'Keep Clear' or similar.

I live opposite a primary school. People can't park worth shit. And appear to have never heard of the highway code.

Yep. My block of flats is opposite a school. The very clearly signed private car park is chock full at 9am & 3pm. Cars all over the place, parents and kids just wandering about without a care.. And as much as it's a frustrating nightmare, I'm mostly concerned that someone's going to get hurt with total lack of awareness from parents, kids and drivers.

[People's poor driving is not limited to their school parking skills. I live on a big crossroads and the amount of shunts, bumps, and crashes caused by poor drivers has been eye-opening - especially when it rains. We like to pop out onto the balcony to look on at the culprits in judgement :) ]

The overuse of the work 'heartbroken', when 'disappointed' or 'sad' would be more appropriate. Especially famous people who are 'heartbroken' to hear something about a fan, when in all likelihood they won't remember the name of that fan in a couple of days.
