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!

Some fuck wit in the village keeps burning stuff in the evening every time it nice. If it carries on this summer I'm going to hunt down who it is and shit through their letter box.

Right. Get them to send their letterbox officer ring to do the job officially.

We had some twats at the allotment who kept burning stuff, the council got very arsey about it and threatened to fine us lots of dosh, that stopped them pretty quick. Your council might not care, but my experience with that and some other incidents suggests they might.

The nagging feeling that the people who come to collect my freecycled stuff are doing so just to sell it on eBay.

I know I shouldn't care, having decided to give it away, what happens to it but part of me wants to feel I'm doing someone a favour in giving them something they need but can't / don't want to spend cash on. Not providing stock FOC for their little cottage industry eBay enterprise. :-(

Fragile Do Not Bend
That this morning I saw a car pull out of a driveway, go exactly a mile down to the station, drop someone off and drive back to the same driveway.

(I have to confess I was also driving my husband to the station but we live 4 miles away)
