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!

Martin Lewis. A self publicising, annoying pillock. Hugely grating personality, snug dick splash. Probably drowns kittens as a hobby.

The use of the word "Revealed" in supposed news articles.

There are two on today's BBC site for example, "First pictures of King Charges banknotes revealed" and "McCartney's Glasto show revealed in unseen photos"

No, in both cases you, Auntie Beeb, have received a press release, one from the Royal Mint and the other from the Glastonbury Fest. "Revealed" is just free advertising.

OS I can't agree with you entirely about ML, but I do agree that he doesn't deserve his God-like status entirely. He was the one who encouraged everyone to push for cheaper and cheaper energy and keep shaving pounds off our bills and changing suppliers all the time. That must have affected the market to some extent? And now almost all the cheap suppliers are bust because they couldn't afford to deliver at the prices they were charging. He isn't 100% right about everything!

I suppose he might say that drowning the kittens was cheaper than euthanising them?

Martin Lewis is an expert in consumer rights and finances

And he actively tries to save people money.

But we don't like experts in this country.

Martin Lewis saved me some money. TV likes smug. I read rather than watch him though as I find once smugness starts to grate it becomes all consuming, see poor old Brian Cox who i now find unbearable

(I've never been able to bear Brian Cox, I can't stand his face or his voice or his hair. His lips are particularly offensive.)

I did wonder if my link on the over 50s thread prompted this :)

I don’t get hung up on his personality, I just find this website incredibly useful.
