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!

Agree with you LazyDaisy, excruciatingly awful advert.

That my GP's appointment is at 9:00, not 11:00.

(that was supposed to be on the what do you know thread, as its something I've just learned. It does also grind my gears mildly, though, as now I have to rush to get to it)

White vans. I know its a cliche but its amazing how many times its them.
Sat behind a bin lorry this morning, there was room to pass on the outside but it was just before a bend on a busy road and I had no idea if another car was coming, so I waited, figuring that the lorry will move on soon anyway.
White van three vehicles back gets impatient, screeches past, tooting his horn.
Council worker has to jump out of the way. Fortunately no car came the other way, but 5 seconds later it did and there would have been a collision, guaranteed.

I will never apologise for being the one who waits behind a vehicle rather than looks at every opportunity to overtake, this mindless example just proves to me that there really are some ar$eholes on the road, mainly in white vans

It was a parked black van that made me run on the road last night as it was blocking the pavement.

Since lockdown, our dropped kerb is constantly being used by Amazon, DPD, Sainsbury's, white van men, etc. for all the neighbours and on both sides of the road. Our low brick wall has also been hit twice.

Yes! These are the bane of my housemate's life, as they effectively prevent him from travelling in his mobility scooter. He can't even pop up to Morrisons (15 minute walk straight up a main A-road) as some roads don't have drop-kerbs, and those that do have selfish gits parked on them.

The arsehole parked right across my back gate (which has a dropped kerb), preventing me from exiting.
