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!

[And some people are slower readers too, XB! They don't show them for long enough quite often. Especially when your brain has to switch out from "Watching picture" mode to "focus on text" mode... The visual equivalent of "What did they say?"]

News reports stating that grammar school pupils get better academic results than pupils at comp schools. Hmm, let's think why that might be? 🤦‍♀️

Selective schools get better results than non-selective? What is the world coming to?!

Junk mail/advertising flyers.

People who park in the wrong bays at the recycling centre. There's 3 bays for garden waste, all filled by people taking 16 strolls to the far end metal & electrical skips.

Despite the (friendly and helpful) official suggesting I park the other end instead of waiting for a clear spot by the bin I want.

Some people seem to treat a trip to the tip as an outing for the day.
