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!

Trying to buy a used bike from ads on Bike Trader or MCN.

"For more information call our sales team."

NO! - For more information, write a decent description / ad and take some decent bloody photos!

People who end a perfectly clear and unequivocal sentence with the phrase "...if that makes sense." i know they're only trying to help, but "the train station is a hundred yards on the left, if that makes sense" is very hard to interpret in any way that doesn't make sense (unless you deliberately look for a way where it doesn't make sense*)

*have been on Fetch for many years so am pre-empting any equivocal interpretations in advance ;-)

[I'm so guilty of that. I'm never sure my explanations are clear, I've a tendency to lapse into technical babble, so often find myself adding that phrase as a get out clause!]

Britney Spears!

Why so much news coverage?
And why so many fans getting so emotional about it?
