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!

People who leave you a voicemail asking you to call back (with no other information) – and when you do 10 minutes later they don’t answer.. nor do they answer an hour later, or another hour and it’s day before you get in contact with them by which point what they wanted to speak to you about has been long forgotten. Grrr.

My daughter recently received four identical letters for the same hospital appointment. Apart from the cost of stationery and postage, are the NHS living in the past and are unaware of e-mail?

Sorry for jumping back a couple of pages I can't believe Andy Townsend survived the 'Tactics Truck' is any of you can remember that from ITV's answer to MOTD.

Worse still I get his repetitive co-commentary when my son plays FIFA, and when I take him to the football (my son not Andy Townsend) he repeats them. "He'll be disappointed with that", you bet he will it nearly hit the corner flag.
