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!

As soon as I open my windows my next door neighbour starts hammering, sawing, drilling or some other annoying sounds.

I'd swap you drilling and hammering for constant squealing and screaming from the children next door.

We get the regular DIY plus one whinging/crying child and shouting mother from one neighbour. The other side could be Quakers as they're the complete opposite.

[I went into Oxford a month or so ago to shop and wondered why on earth I was sitting in all this traffic when, now that I’m retired, I could go in the week at a time when it’s much quieter!)
