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!

The Ibis hotel. Booked a hotel for France and expected either A) for them to take payment straight away or B ) To pay on departure from the hotel. Called up to see why they hadn't taken money to get 'Oh your reservation is fine, we can take the payment anytime between when you book and when your holiday is'.

WHYYYYYYY fuck about, just bloody take it or at least state when you will. I hate having money in my account I can't spend and constantly worrying something has gone wrong with my reservation that will screw up my holiday. I'm never booking their hotels again.

The woman driver who pulled out of a petrol station (turning right). I was cycling. With lights and flourescent clothing, even though it was the early stages of dusk and bright enough to have not needed them.

She looked once, she looked twice, right at me on the second look. I saw her clearly do this (you notice these things as a cyclist because if you see someone who doesn;t look, you need to be uber alert and make allowances). She saw me, I know she did but she pulled out anyway. It was not a great risk to her, and fortunately I was able to take evasive action and slide up the inside of her because the road was wide enough.

There was a lot of traffic, and had she not gone for that opportunity, it may have been another minute or two's wait. But she still took the risk. That fucks me off, even more than those that don;t see you.

Going for a short afternoon run, then discovering that it's the one day in the month when I could have gone for a long afternoon run :(

The driver who pulled out of a side road alongside a newspaper delivery boy who was on his jump bike and had right of way. She forced him into the gutter. Even when he made his presence felt; she still didn't see him. Scary and poor boy. :(
