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!

People who put signs saying 'no turning' on their drive. Fuck off. OK it's not ideal but we are only turning because we have to, sometimes. What harm does it do? If it's that unthinkably awful to have a car on your drive turning for 15 seconds, put a bloody gate up!

Signs that say 'please drive carefully through OUR village'. It's not yours. You (or more accurately your banks) may happen to own houses in that location, but that is all! Most of it is public space. Piss off....

We had a new drive put in last year. I told all our neighbours (there's not many) that they were welcome to turn in the drive, and park on it whilst waiting for the school bus.

Cos I is a local hero, innit!

People who say 'the garden needs it' as our precious, far too short Summer comes to a miserable, sodden end. I want some more bloody sunshine, we'll have 8-9 months of this cold wet grey windy disgusting filth anyway starting mid September....

WS, the guy over our road tells people to move their car from outside his house even though he does not have a car or a drive.
