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!

delivery companies trying to show how efficient they are by texting you to say your parcel will be with you "between xx:03 and (some other) xx:03". Stop being patronising, we all know that it's impossible to be that precise with deliveries.

i may have posted this before, but supermarket shoppers who stroll along the middle of the aisle as if they're taking in the sites of a museum and have all the time in the world

[I do that too- it's usually because I need to scan the whole shelf to find what I want and I can't do that standing right next to it].

Or (generally people of a certain age, it has to be said) taking forever when self-scanning their shopping in Sainsbury's and blocking the aisles!

Someone frantically banging at the door. Rush out the bathroom and answer it, only to be asked to take a parcel in for next door.

Not the first time that has happened either. Previously, I was up a ladder hanging wallpaper. Not at all happy!

Take son to look at a car that he had a booked, timed appointment to test drive. Place deserted and when he phones them, he's told they sold the car yesterday.

40 miles each way to get there
