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 try to cover up their appalling B.O. with a gallon of aftershave. Now you smell bad, twice.

People who ring and ask to speak to Mr Henderson (who sold us our house in 1996 or thereabouts). HE DOESN"T LIVE HERE ANYMORE.

The really odd thing about that is that we moved within the same dialling code area and ported our number across so he has never had this phone number, just the address. Weird isn't it?

Winded, I used to get calls for Mr Gillam (whose widow sold us the house!)

One day I got a call "Can I speak to Mr Gillam?"
and I said "No, he's dead."
To which I got the reply: "That needn't matter..."
