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!

ie one bit of shite has been discounted by 75% but anything worth buying has only had 5% deducted.

And another (pinched from Twitter)

"Produced in the UK from New Zealand or Australian Lamb"

What the fuck does that really mean?

People that talk into their phones like they think they're on an episode of The Apprentice. You massive cockweasels.

People that feel the need to project their conversation with the person next to them to deafening volumes.

(I should probably also add, People. Not you lovely lot though)

Cyclists riding two or three abreast on the mixed use cycle path who expect pedestrians to move onto the grass so they can continue their conversation uninterrupted. *we* go into single file, *you* go into single file, and everyone's happy. Capisc?

The two, three, four abreast thing regardless of where it happens. How hard is single file?
