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!

Delivery people who ring your doorbell (which can be heard from outside) then immediately start hammering on your door. I know I'm getting on a bit but give me a chance to get up off my chair at least!

People that ring you and ring you and ring you and never leave a message! Either stop bugging me or leave a damn message or I shall assume you are junk - I don't answer unknown numbers when I'm busy and I haven't been not busy during work hours for the last 3 years!

Delivery people that don't bother to show up when they're meant to, send a photo of the end of the street stating they've been and left a card, which cannot be found, and then attempt to redeliver the following day when you're no longer at home, because you arranged delivery for the day you would be home, not the day that you wouldn't. Oh and they charge you for this privilege as well.

Taking regular ebay and Amazon deliveries in for neighbours because they tell the senders that we have a porch to leave it in, and they don't.

Food served up on bread boards, or bits of slate, or anything else that isn't an actual plate.

When you go onto a website and start reading some interesting detail, then a box comes up straight away asking you to complete a survey or subscribe. F&ck off! I was reading.
