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!

Windows.

You want to do something, find out how, click some icon or other and the next screen comes up just like in the documentation.

Click again and once more, the next screen comes up just like in the documentation.

Sigh
People that squeeze the middle of loaves in supermarkets but don't buy them, leaving the now-damaged loaf for someone else when there's no other bread left to choose from.

I once shopped with a friend who 'fed' her two toddlers as we went round the supermarket, and presented the bar codes at the till :-o

I hate it also when you see people throwing discarded choices back on the shelves, especially fruit.
