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!

Facebook seems to think I live in Market Harborough. Not sure that I’ve ever been there.

People who send Teams (or whatsapp) messages and use a new message as a Return.

So instead of one message I get 6.

Massive +1 to this.

Also people that send "Hello", followed by an almighty wait for them to send what they actually want to say.

Cafres that bring you you drink and then make you wait ages for your food (or cakes) meaning you could really do with another drink by then!

Tripadvisor - I’ve done some great trips and tours with them, but the tickets are never emailed to me so I have to chase them up adding to the stress. It’s just happened again 🙄🤬

Especially if it's a coffee. It'll be cold before the breakfast comes out.

[I expect the coffee ages before the “food” is a deliberate ploy @3M - but the glass rim holding is just poor hygiene training @Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) - I think I’d be very tempted to send it back
