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!

I asked the local surgery to chase up a hospital referral made in August last year as I’d not heard anything yet. Today I got a NHS text message informing me that I’ve been referred. I guess that means they forgot to do it in August.

The amount of time we waste at choir doing stupid 'icebreaker' things at the start so that at the end of the session we overrun the finishing time or miss out on rehearsing a song properly.

The local authority parking app that asks me to send proof of my address but doesn't tell me how. And has already issued me a residents' permit so SHOULD KNOW WHERE I LIVE.

dogwalkers with headphones in, so they don't hear me running (panting) behind them and then seem surprised when their dog reacts
Also parents pushing their offspring in a buggy with headphones in. How not to interact with your child.
