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!

Companies who ask to fundraise (for a good cause) and then fail to answer either on their FB page or by return email any queries you may have.....I'm getting pissed off now as I've managed to raise over £300 but no one will reply. it is a genuine site as its the local station an they do it every year and I have had mention on the radio when I first signed up.

The low battery alert beep in one of our smoke detectors sounding every 30s, starting at 4am rather than within daylight hours.

Cats! Just woke up to yet more plants dug up and shite all over the place 🤬 It's really disheartening as there is no effective way of stopping it.

When our smoke detectors apparently had a low battery (remain unconvinced, we’re in a new build and eventually just got them replaced) they actually went off at 3am. That was fun.

Given how awkward they are to access, why are my snoke alarm covers so difficult to remove?

JKC Norfolk I suspect it's to stop people from taking the battery out to use on something else or to stop the alarm going off for something minor like burning toast?

DoricQuine I saw an advertisement for cat deterrents by the rspb. A device emitting ultrasound that’s supposed to deter cats and thus encourage birds.
