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!

An overstatement but how more times will I go to the shops and forget to take my bag of old batteries?

[I’ve found the solution to this problem is to just chuck them in the bin]

(we found the solution was to put the bag in the car when you think about it, whether or not you're about to go anywhere. Then, next time you're at a place you can safely dispose of them they're already with you)

[ We have a box for old batteries in the kitchen. Our solution, when the first box was full was to, erm, get another box and start filling that one too... ]
