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!

Supermarkets removing traditional checkouts and replacing them with self scan and self service.

VAR randomness


The Iran penalty was certainly less of a penalty than the England one that wasn't VAR'd in the first half.

I've had this rant before, I don't understand why they don't turn the engine off, its hardly going to suddenly get cold inside the second they turn it off. I guess they will complain about the price of fuel...


Fast forward to yesterday, I was waiting to for my extremely muddy trail race to start and everyone as hiding in their cars because it was raining. I swear the guy in the car next to me had his engine running for over 15 minutes. I wanted to go and tell him he was supposed to be a tough trail runner and he was going to get cold soon anyway. 😅

Our Landlord's agent being entirely unconcerned about the lack of window covering in our bedrooms and living room, despite delaying our move in to ensure that (amongst other issues) a tiny hallway window had a blind fitted (the wrong way around).

Homeowners don't know how good they've got things (and will be paying less a month than me, too!)

DPD dumped a Hello Fresh parcel on my front door step. Didn't ring the bell, didn't put it in safe place; i.e. porch, and in such a way that I could barely open the porch door to get it.

My Bank pushing me to use the on-line banking and now I want to change my address I have to go in to a branch to do it!
I work (inc travelling) 08:00 - 17:30.
Bank open hours 09:30 - 16:00.

See the problem with that?

On the other side of the coin, JK*C, my leaking roof and probably rebuild of the dormer is entirely down to me as a homeowner. 😬
Swings and roundabouts in terms of benefits and issues however you pay for your home, I think!

But at least you're in control of that. In the same position, I'd have to approach the agent, to approach the landlord, to decide what to do, then to get some quotes, to decide which to go with...

Ugh. So sick of paying other people's mortgages.
