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!

Naga Munchetty (and other tv interviewers) who constantly interrupt the people they are interviewing, so that the person cannot answer the question. It drives me mad!!

[Yes, sd, this creeping lack of awareness has spread to the radio too. My view is that the editorial ream becomes over ambitious in the number of interviews, live or on location. The consequence? Interviewers are chivvied in their earpieces or face to face to wrap up 'interviews' by breaking in on what is often the most interesting part. tbh, few are truly interviews as such: merely clashes of sound bites.]

Sitting in the car in a blue badge spot while Mrs TR and her elderly mother (who has the blue badge) shop in tesco. I know some people ignore blue badge and parent and child parking rules, but I have been amazed at how many people I've seen parking in the blue badge spots without displaying a blue badge or in the parent and child spots without children.

Blue Badge bays around here are generally adhered to. The parent and child ones are the complete opposite. Although there are signs up to say that the spaces are monitored, I beg to differ. We have a Blue Badge for our daughter but can't recall someone not displaying a badge in a disabled bay we wanted. Misuse of the Blue Badge still goes on and I would welcome anyone to report it.

There is also the misunderstanding that having a disabled bay outside your house means that it is for your own use. I have parked outside someone else's house (with daughter in the car, of course), and correctly not been challenged.

[ Phil - for info (from Hants CC page on how to apply for one)
Disabled parking bays can be used by any driver displaying a valid Blue Badge in their vehicle. This could be for the driver or a passenger. The bay can't be assigned to one person only. Disabled parking bays in residential areas are "advisory only", so they aren't legally enforceable.

An enforceable disabled parking bay will have a legal Traffic Regulation Order applied to it. These are usually in a town centre location. They will have an accompanying sign stating ‘Disabled Badge Holders Only'.

Not just grinding my gears, but making me incoherent with rage - the anti-abortion society of my daughter's University, whose officers are, with one exception, male.
The VP "doesn't believe any woman wants an abortion".
Well, imagine that, a man denying the life experience of women, and believing he's more correct than any of them.
