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 get cross when telesales people insist on talking to Mr XXX (my OH & I have different surnames). I quite enjoy announcing that the only Mr XXX was my father who is dead.
bit naughty.

I don't mind "Mr" on the 'phone because it suggests that I sound more Margaret Thatcher than Paula Radcliffe. I am, however, fairly unforgiving about "Mrs Raptor" - that's my ex-M-i-L's name and was NEVER mine. Having remained "Dr Raptor" after remarrying, I have no problem at all with being called "Mrs Bee" :)

about as much as saying you are a 2.03 marathon runner because someone once did that.
