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!

Several newspapers offer a “pay to reject cookies option”.

Ah... basically apaid subscription, then. That makes sense. I think you'll find even Fetch uses cookies to determine whether you see adverts (free) or not (subscription).

My last iPhone update automatically enabled voice control.

This would not be a problem except that if I had WhatsApp open and I was chatting, it would automatically enter my conversation into the text box! That could have been rather embarrassing had I not checked my text before sending.

I’ve now figured out how to disable it!

Sunday Times Rich List and their ilk

What is this obsession with hoarding money, turning people into celebrities, for becoming a billionaire? Lets face it, they've probably exploited someone or something over many years.
