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 pay for everything no matter how small, with contactless cards. There should be rules:

0-£5 - cash
£5-£10 - contactless
£10+ - full credit card

Punishment for non compliance: burning, face first.

(PS dunno why paying for, say, a coffee with a contactless annoys me, its probably quicker on average than scrabbling around for coins or handing over a note and getting change...but it annoys me regardless....)

People paying in a fast efficient way allowing you to get your coffee quicker. How irritating.

[I pay for almost everything that I can with contactless. Just bought some rasps from the co-op with contactless. I had my card ready. Bosh. Ultra-fast.]

Workers behind the counter in a coffee shop* saying "Can I get £7.50" in response to orders placed in a "popular culture" stylee.

* Barristers wear wigs and gowns. You are not, nor ever will be, one of these. Stop making up job titles.

Bunch - aarrgghh!

I used to work in an office where some shivery people had window seats and wouldn't give them up to people on the end of that row who were hot - one of those people was me. As soon as my window colleague went to a meeting, I'd open the window.

On the subject of smells (some pages back) - my neighbour uses air freshener and leaves his front door open, which means I have to close mine as it's so pongy and fake. (He's a nice bloke tho'.)

Yes, I think we should go back to the old days and get a cash discount, especially for big purchases like cars, boats and drug consignments.

I also think pavements should have lanes, a fast one for people who want get somewhere and do something, or run, and idiots who can't walk in a straight line, window shoppers, and tourists.
