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!

Sigh
I had an appointment at the Eye Clinic at Stoke Hospital this morning. The appointment letter said: "The doctor may need to use eye drops which could blur your eyes and affect your driving." Much debate about what to do, as we've not left the puppy home alone yet. Thankfully it was half term, so daughter could watch the pup and wife drove me.

At the hospital, I see a nurse, who says: "Oh, you never see the doctor on your first appointment, that's at the second appointment." Well, thanks - so glad I didn't pay for a taxi then!!

I've got caught on one of the oldest scams ...
Tesco & Anchor - I am not impressed.

OK, so I'm greedy, and when I spotted Anchor Butter at a (very good*) Clubcard special price I snapped up 6 blocks on my shopping. *Almost too good to be true.

2 weeks later, when I got some out of the freezer, I find they've decreased the size. So my bargain would have been a bargain for 250g of butter. For 200g, not so much, if at all :-(

BBC FA Cup programming. I’ve no issue with the FA Cup being shown but there was no added time, no penalties, so no reason to overrun the published schedule.

And while I’m here you can take your Philip Schofield coverage and shove it! He’s a bloke that’s good at talking and had an affair. Where’s the news?

[ That's just a poor user interface. I get more upset by the amount of crumbs in the bottom of the toaster - that's just a waste..! ]

0. Any more than 0 and the new butter is getting opened.

On that, I'll add - people who scrape the excess butter from the knife back into the butter tub.
