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!

trying to register with a website which insists on sending you a link to prove who you are. Which then takes hours to arrive.

Being very careful and asking if item on the menu contains ****** and being told no and you order it and at the first mouthful you aren't sure and so you ask a different person to find it does contain it.

We have a great Club. I ask for feedback to help someone out. Nothing.
I remind people and ask again, I get one or two replies.
Get the person sorted.
Then, at the 11th hour, I get several responses, all with better ideas.

Why can't those people reply straight away?! Always happens, every time!

Socks described as 'Fits size 8 to 13'. Well no they don't do they? Not 'fit' as such. Probably a person with size 9 or 10 will be okay, but the person with size 12.5 is going to find them like compression socks.

In fact general anything described as 'one size fits all' would be better described as 'one size fits everyone equally badly'
