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!

Likewise, anything to do with the Beckhams. Last week, there was a half-page article in the newspaper that they took a couple of punts out in Cambridge. So what!

HMRC's auto attendant phone system.

Why start a call with a long announcement about something that is totally irrelevant to me?

And then the bit where she says "and now tell me in a few words what your call is about"; she will then ignore what you've said, direct you to the website then pop you on hold for 19 minutes and counting.

On hold with L&G at mo, they have been experiencing higher than normal call volumes for so many days this week that the word higher is irrelevant

Team members who decide at the very last minute that they will bring their kids to Endure. I don't mind my mates kids in small doses, but, when I'm knackered from running and not getting any sleep the last thing I want is to be surrounded by sprogs. tut tut!
