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!

People who drop litter! I try to litter pick at least once a week and I've just walked down the quiet country lane I did last week and there's bloody takeaway rubbish all down there!! Think I'll be going back later :-(

Familial groups that are only capable of forward progress on foot when in rank, rather than in file.

On a similar note, the 3 older guys at the lane-only early morning pool swim who meander slowly in the fast lane, stopping for a chat at the end of each length.

I guess I could also add the pool management team's ambivalence to it all

We can all relate to that death stare game of Chicken with the Pavement Hogger family.

"No, this one person is NOT going to forced to run on the road just because the 3 of you want side by side!"

On collision course with a pre-teenage boy, the nearest of three people, I gave ground and dodged into a driveway, checking that I was not wearing my Cloak of Invisibility... ;)

The media and politicians referring to hardworking families as if hardworking single people don’t exist
