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!

Fragile Do Not Bend
Highways England who think that a contraflow on the M20 when Operation Stack is on, is unsafe.

Never mind that a) motorways have contraflows all the time when there are roadworks and b) there are plenty of 60 mph limit roads that have traffic going in both directions without a barrier between the 2 sides.

Lol Dvorak, your post reminds me of another "Gear grinder" of mine - folk who complain about the weather as though somebody somewhere is just doing the weather wrong and their manager should be informed.

I doubt that when the world was created, they said "Right lads, lets make Jun/Jul/Aug hot and sunny and we'll call it Summer, Sept/Oct/Nov colder, windy and let's get rid of those leaves and call it Autumn, Jan/Feb... What, Pub's open now? aye let's go for a few pints, just make the rest of them grey and shit for now, we'll sort it later".

Residents who park so spaced out that we lose several spaces off the street (by leaving gaps between vehicles not quite big enough to fit anything else in) leaving me with the option of parking half a mile away or risking the wrath of wardens by sneaking into the mews overnight.

People who say 'okey dokey' or who say 'bub-bye' (instead of goodbye)

Burn them. Face first.

PLUS Duchess and Maz, people who think they have the right to park outside their house, nowhere else,only outside their house. You own the house, not the road.

I once had a neighbour r knock at my door to move the car 2 yards so hec ould move his 2 yards so his car door would be directly next to his front gate!!!!
