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!

That "Tesco" in the previous post appears as a link advertising Tesco :-( Does this mean my computer is going to start trying to turn me into a serial killer?

Possibly scraping right through the bottom of the barrel containing discarded ground gears but...

You know that thin plastic film that comes stuck to the screen of new mobile phones, or remote control handsets, or pretty much anything with an LCD screen? It's just designed to protect the item from fingermarks in the factory / warehouse / shop. It really grinds my gears way more than it should when people don't remove that film.

People who stop their cars to ask you for directions and wont stop talking so you can answer.

The answer would have been "The petrol station you are looking for is just after the rounabout ahead, it has a big Texaco sign on it, you wont miss it"
