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!

On a similar note… people that email me as Gregg.

My work email address is greg.potts@ and my home one is gregp63@

I electronically sign myself as ./GregP.

Do these people think I’m omitting this extra G of theirs for some sort of sport?

Perhaps you get the spare Gs that Gregg Wallace gets so miffed about when people miss them off of his name?

When I talk and you start talking before I even finish, demonstrating in the process that you haven't been listening anyway.
