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!

Not sure liquid gold would do much for your car, though...

Websites that take your payment instantly but somehow can only give a refund after a 2 day delay.

People that park right beside you in a half empty car park. Not just beside, too close also 🤬

Agreed, I purposely park further away so I can make use of a space with spaces either side and despite there being plenty of alternatives, you can almost always expect someone to have parked too close to whichever door I need to open.

As the above, but camping. More than once we've pitched our tent in a near empty field, gone for a walk and come back to someone pitched right next door. The field is still near empty.

I used to hate the campsites that allocated you a pitch, but now I realise they do a better job of spacing people out.

(One particularly bad experience was we came back to our neighbours guy lines crossing ours and their dog in our porch. I don't think that site believed in fire regulations. Fantastic site during the week when it's quiet though.)

HSBC have changed the look of the app on my phone. Why? It was fine before and now I've got to suss out this 'improved' version!

"Safety deposit box" never sounds right to me; I think it should be a Safe Deposit Box.

Plus 1, @stilldreaming! Changing apps and decent user interfaces happens far too often without any consultation!

“Happy belated birthday “.

Surely it should be “belated happy birthday “?

Or just don’t be late!
