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!

Audi, BMW and Mercedes drivers in general (sorry for those decent intelligent ones out there) A40 Over Roundabout this morning, lights may be green fools but unless you can move into a gap stay where you are, nope Audi and Merc decide to then cause a jam whilst cars wanting to legitimately wanting to go right and left when the lights changed couldn't. Always wondered what that crazy yellow shading was for on the roads? Wonder how many times the word 'cock' was used from the surrounding vehicles!

Volvo drivers who just barge their way in (cos I drive a BMW - just a wee old one though!) :-) G

The fact that driver's IQs drop about 30 points as soon as there is the remotest sign of bad weather.

Cold callers. No I don't want anything to do with you so stop bloody phoning me! I will not answer any number that I don't recognise.

Why can't manufacturers install a caller blocking app into the mobile phones!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I run an on-line shop and can't fault them, send approx 20 parcels a day, no complaints and been at it for 6 months. Cheaper then Royal Snail, more convenient - outlets open till 1100 at night, every One Stop Shop, Co-Op, Most petrol stations are now My Hermes outlets. Over 1,000 parcels delivered and each one tracked - again not the service with Royal Snail. Quick question, are you from the seller or customer viewpoint?

Customer Q Mac. Second time recently that a parcel hasn't been delivered. Its been with them for 5 days now according to their tracker, with "an address query". No-one has contacted me to query it and no other courier has any issues (Royal Mail, DPD, TNT etc), only Hermes.

I can get no-one to answer so have resorted to Twitter (again, this was the only way to resolve last time) to try to get someone to deliver the blessed thing.
