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!

Traffic Lights that turn red when you approach them.

Working late last night until midnight. Usual route home around the back of the shopping centre.
No cars at all and the light is green. Get within a few feet of it and it turns red and gives a green light to the closed shopping centre car park for about 5 minutes.
Light at the top of the hill after that is green. Approach that and yet again it detects a car and turns red in order to allow no cars on the empty road to go first.

Even at 4:30am on a Sunday morning it's the same.

You can park up and time the lights. A lot of them remain green indefinitely until someone approaches.

Also hate main road lights where you get 5 seconds tops between green and red yet the side street that has little traffic normally at that junction gets about 2 minutes (unless of course you go that way and you're guaranteed that light will be red).

Also got a filter light from one main road to another and at night, it's 50/50 as to whether it works.
Half the time, the road you want to turn into has the green light, it then turns red yet the main road I'm on stays red. The other road then turns green and so on.
Occasionally requires a minimum of 3 cars for a green light.

PMSL at ScottS, sounds like many of my journeys.

Christmas shopping!!! I'm not one of the one's Idio mentions, I do enjoy a lot about Christmas.

But where I live, at this time of year, it's bloody mental in town.

When I was younger, we used to have a phrase about people from "the Valleys". Basically, they come to "the big city" three times a year: twice for the rugby and once for Christmas shopping.

That's changed these days, mainly 'cos there are more rugby matches.

However, if you're Christmas shopping why do you bring the whole family down? Why do groups of people congregate gassing in shop doorways when you're trying to get in/out? If you've decided on your purchase, there no need for the whole 5-6-7 of you to stand in the queue to pay, one queues, the remainder can wait outside/elsewhere?

I'd no idea it worked like that Scott. Incredibly annoying. If you were on a bike, you could feel quite vulnerable waiting in the cold and dark if you worked 'unsociable' hours.
