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!

That there's always someone who chooses to smoke some really rank smelling brand of tobacco on the beach.

The 'entitled' person driving the black Audi car who regularly drives in a straight line across the grass opposite our house rather than turn the steering wheel slightly to go around the minor bend in the road. I *so* wish there were a kerb there. Can you add a strategically placed rockery stone? (Painted white, of course!) Quite a few on the verges on our estate.


Tempting. I had thought of placing drawing pins (!!!), but rockery stones sound like a better idea.

[My old Garmin satnav decided to pronounce the supermarket as "Az-daar" when we were using it for directions on the Isle of Wight - that was quite funny, though]

The endless self-promotion clips on E4 between every single programme, which are boring, unnecessarily long and get played even if the show is running late. It doesn't help that each segment then also has the same sponsors message AND the absolutely relentless Married at First Sight UK trailers.

Just another version of the Baaath or Barth, Maalvern or Mawlvern, Skon or Scoan debate.
TBH if you understand what is being said then that’s all that matters really.
