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!

Yep Chris. I live in a long road where some arseholes park on the pavement. A wheelchair user regularly has to go out into the road and a lady with a zimmer frame. :( A twat with a big van parks on the pavement at the top of a junction making visibility bad for people coming from both ways and again, not enough space for a wheelchair user to get by.

Some pavement parking is allowed where I live although there must be at least 1.2m between the vehicle and the edge of the person's property; i.e. front garden. However, there are some people who are inconsiderate and still leave no space for those with wheelchairs and pushchairs.

Its especially annoying when there is no reason to park up the pavement. I've seen it on roads that are wide enough for 2 lorries to pass with room to spare - how wide do they think their car actually is?

And the people who park up the pavement in order to park on their side of the road even though there is plenty of room to park on the other side with the cars that are parked properly.

that was my worst annoyance, the people who MUST park outside their house.

I Once had my next door neighbour come and knock at my door and ask me to move the car outside my house a couple of yards so that he could park outside his.

Three things.

1 it was not my car
2 by the time he'd knocked at my door he could have got inside his
3 FUCK OFF

People at work have started using those airline style cabin bags with wheels as the 'work briefcase'. Dunno why, but it annoys the hell out of me. The noise as they rattle down the office, the sheer bone idleness of it.....

Talking about bone idleness. People at work who insist on using the lift to go up one or two floors - lazy b******s.

People wanting home visits because they're housebound.

Then being out when I call.

That's simple to fix V'Rap. Just tell em that the only way they're allowed to get a home visit is if they present evidence that they're housebound to the surgery. In person. Voila :)
