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!

[I heard it in an episode of 'Pie In The Sky', Richard Griffiths as chef/detective. The Twirlies in question were two sisters fronting a gentile fraud operation!]

I have my bus pass already, but I’m curious to know what a “gentile fraud operation” is though......

[Oh, the sisters bounced cheques for extended hotel visits, and a 2nd hand car and used a stack of hooky credit cards in shops with the help of two unscrupulous types. At the hotel and car garage, they left a delicious bread n butter pudding, the recipe for which hero Henry was keen to obtain - which he did when he nicked the sisters. :) ]
