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!

Agree running mum, especially when you're trying to get past.

BehVe, when I've been on my feet all day, sometimes it's the best chance I get to stand still.

When dragging a bike bag with a DH bike in it and a bag full of kit including body armour and full face helmet those walk ways are a god send for a rest. You could always bypass those walkways and scurry by.

I only go shopping in the city centre about once a year. I really hate shopping. When I do, I get really impatient with people who stand there on escalators. I know I shouldn't but I start to hyperventilate if I'm in a department store for too long. :)

Drivers who only indicate as they perform the manoeuvre, rather than in advance of it. Does the three second rule not apply here? And why do drivers only indicate once the traffic lights change rather than on their approach to the junction/traffic lights, so that other road users know what they're going to do next?

Drivers that overtake only to slam their brakes on in front of you because of oncoming traffic, or because they're turning etc. Dicks.

People who text while driving. :-O Saw a girl who was indicating left but kept looking to her right. I was trying to cross to her right and was confused as to why she kept looking in my direction but was indicating left. She did turn left and as she turned I saw what she'd been looking at - a 'phone in her hand she was texting on.
