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!

[Yes, I agree JK, but this one is the worst for me. It's not just the words, but the woman's appearance/demeanour]

Wasn't it her and her kid? There were tiny shoes at the beginning, or maybe I'm thinking of the wrong one. Anyway, yes, the Nationwide ads have been annoying for a few years, none as bad as those 'sisters' with the keyboard.

So many adverts that were designed to wear out your mute button.

Conspiracy to sell replacement remotes? ;)

Agree with the Nationwide adverts

People who like to hijack everything to make it all about what they want

Banking adverts annoy me at present as they all present themselves as welcoming places with lots of staff. Anyone who has actually been able to find a local branch that is still open will know that it is run by two or three people with an army of machines.

The Halifax one gets me - trying to show how young and trendy they are by featuring music from the up and coming beat combo The (sic) Oasis - ffs they’re 50!

The heavy play of the Halifax advert shows that that "classic" Oasis dirge, sorry, song, is just the same lyric, repeated three times with absolutely no change. I truly loathe Oasis and might have to bob over to the things you hate thread later...
