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!

To an extent, doesn't this also apply to opinions expressed in public online, where once one had to pay to express these opinions via the medium of the letter post? At least you'd have had to make sure it was a well-crafted, sensible opinion, before expending 14p or whatever it was to post your opinion to Barry Took or, say, Mary Whitehouse?

Perhaps someone should start charging the price of a stamp for every comment on an article? Seems logical...to a point.

Anyway, I'm a firm adherent of the Clint Eastwood opinion on opinions crab

Little bags of dog shit left on the South Downs Way - surely the worst bit is picking the stuff up, if you are gong to do that at least then dispose of it in a bin, if not then just leave it on the ground to be washed away by the rain - idiots!

Quite, B, the people who hang them from trees are the worst. What goes through their tiny minds as they do this?

Maybe they think the "cleaning staff" will dispose of them. As if there's some sort of underclass of serfs dealing with thoughtless dog owners' detritus. Perhaps a big shower of dogshit should descend from the sky on these sort of people.
