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!

[you may find there are still 20 or 30 shades of “blue” if you are looking for a car touch up]
If all the different colours were grouped together that would be a start but they are all spread randomly around 😂

Too right, Mrs J! x

[The last time we moved home our mortgage advisor used to sign off her emails with a x. I found it quite endearing, although I did wonder if she was wanting to move in :-) ]

[When emails became a thing in workplaces, I was a bit perturbed that our PA was ending her in-house emails with the abbreviation for lots of love, because I didn't know what LOL stood for]

Got to say I've worked in commerce since 1979 and I have NEVER in my life seen a kiss (x) at the end of a work related email, letter, fax, memo, telex or any other medium of communication. And the day that I do is the day I retire.

[My neighbour also thinks LOL means lots of love, which lead to interesting messages when our respective parents died.]
