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!

The self service checkout in WHSmith trying to sell me crappy chocolate for £1. I don't want that shit, that's why I am not already holding it. Oh and the fact that WHSmith seems to be a crappy food shop with a few books and mags rather than the other way around, which it should be. Oh and those few book, mags & papers are at the BACK of the shop, so you have to fight your way through creme eggs and tracker bars to get to them.

My gears are thoroughly ground.

I agree, Woyne Ligs. Whenever I go into WHS to buy something they inevitably ask me if I want to buy some chocolate and I always say very loudly 'WHAT, ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS DIABETES?'

Not the same but when you buy something and invariably get asked for a loyalty card of some sort.

I usually reply 'certainly not - it's against my religous principles'. Even had an apology once, usually you get a look of confusion though. Bit unfair of me to take it out on the poor sap on the tills who will get fired if they don;t ask, but I really detest the things. As an atheist I am free to invent a religion and this is as close as it gets....

Mrs TRO loves 'em she has hundreds, and it grinds her gears that I refuse to use them, or the vouchers they send.

I fucking hate loyalty cards, even Waitrose checkout staff nag me about them nowadays. No, I don't want your fucking coffee, I have a coffee machine at home. And old people wandering round Waitrose carrying their sippy cups of coffee really grinds my gears. Sit down and drink your coffee!

It's ketchup, Dvorak. Tomato ketchup if the brand is good enough to not be entirely gippy...
