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!

Access to working from home being restricted temporarily due to security concerns and this being used to end working from home permanently. Seething.

Delivery drives that park half on the pavement and half on the road. Blocking two avenues instead of one.


Not just delivery drivers, any drivers. And bonus points for sitting there for ages with their engines running, too. I live relatively near a primary school and school is out at 3.05 and 3.20 for infants and juniors respectively. If I come back from a lunchtime walk at 2.30 there are already people at the end of my road with their engines running. Thankfully not on the pavement, though.

sports co-commentators who, in emotional moments, say things like "I don't know what to say!" or "I'm speechless"

That's your job!!!!!

Agreed. Or when it's something like plant seeds and the review request cones after two weeks.

Random motorway signs - always with low speed limits - announcing lane closures, queuing traffic or even fog when everything is pretty good.
