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!

"I hate to say this, but..." No. Twice over no. You are really enjoying it; you are writing it, not saying it. You're just making snippy comments on the Internet, if you hated it that much you could just not do it.

Total agreement on the bag on seat thing. Or other ways of trying to keep multiple seats on a busy train. Had a stroppy adolescent once on a late night train trying to use bag and feet to keep four seats for himself. He got his revenge by leaning over and using my guitar headstock to push himself up out of his seat. Fortunately no damage done.

Bags on seats is only second to feet on them instead - no excuse for either! Likewise, why do people sit on the aisle seat instead of next to the window? Clearly they would rather get the odd whack from somebody's elbow or bag than allow someone to sit next to them.

I sit aisle seat often as I get off at the second stop, and need to collect my bike from the rack on the way out. Never yet had anyone take the window seat that got off before me.

Must confess that I often say that to other runners at the start of a race.

Hotel towels being changed daily DESPITE us hanging them up exactly as we'd been asked to if we were happy to use them again and save on washing. This REALLY annoys me.

It would annoy me less if they didn't bother with the bit of cardboard saying 'If you're happy to use your towels again and save on washing...' etc.
