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!

The appalling deterioration in lane discipline with pretty much all drivers locally... e.g. traffic lights on a dual carriageway are red - a line of four vehicles pull up in the outside lane for absolutely no reason what so ever (there's a separate right-turn lane and no one in the left lane, turning left or going straight on), drivers slicing right across two-lane roundabouts rather than following the curve, on single carriageway roads, apparently no concept of the fact that there might be vehicles travelling on the opposite side of the road staying in their own lane! Bellends, the lot of them!!!

People who take their dogs into cafés and expect everyone else to have the same tolerance level of their beloved pet.

This. You can also replace "pet" with (unruly) "child".

People who leave their dogs outside to bark incessantly in the early hours. I’ve been trying not to listen to them since the noise roused me from my slumber before 3am.
I do not have the energy or presence of mind to determine their location in such a built up area.
I assume the owners either work nights, or sleep like the dead, to be unaffected by their pets’ endeavours.

It beggars belief some of the things they do LD.
I’m frequently rather amazed that one of the team will be interviewing Laura Kuenssberg, both standing outside No. 10.

...both standing outside No. 10... when they could all quite as easily be in a studio
