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 respond to my emails and spell my name incorrectly, especially when someone else copied into the email trail has mentioned me and spelled my name correctly.

Agree with you, Red Squirrel. Same thing applies for any correspondence, call it what you like...rude, lack of care and attention, unprofessional, etc.

The person who made the incorrect spelling has an unusual spelling of her name, making it like the ending of my name! She's Lucie and I'm Chrissie (not Chrissy).

People ringing this office to complain their email hasn't been answered. When I ask them who their email was from, it turns out it's from staff at our other site 15 miles away. Why don't they just chase up the originator of the email? I end up getting involved and having to email the person they're complaining about.

Smartphone suggested words for the ones I typed. It offers 3 suggestions and often greys out the one I want. What's that all about? Why not just offer 3 options with none of them greyed out? Sly.

Surveys surveys surveys.

Especially ones that ask "how likely are you to recommend xxx to your friends and family?" I always answer highly unlikely because I haven't got all the data to make an informed recommendation that Capital One's credit card is the best one in the circumstances.

This morning I had my annual blood and BP test at the GPs. Two hours later I got a text asking "How likely are you to recommend Pendleside Medical Practice to friends and family if they needed similar treatment?".

Fuck's sake.
