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!

And I'm well aware that nit picking and pedantic are pretty much the same thing ok? OK?

Traffic bulletins on national radio. What's the bloody point other than to let me know where I'm going to be sat in a queue. Telling me which lane is closed or which alternative roads I could take would be a start.

[ok so I didn't help myself by clearing out everything from the car before it went in the garage and then forgetting to put the map or satnav back before I drove to Birmingham but that's not the point]

I'm a pretty good thread killer although it's never intentional.

What really grinds my gears? Wolverhampton Wanderers :-(

To get back to waiters ......I HATE being addressed as "You guys ..." as in "You guys all done ? " .....Even Peter Barlow ( The Corrie/LA equivalent of Martin Guerre ) wouldn't come out with that pseudo American talk....
