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!

Sutton Park had to be cancelled this morning because the Park Ranger hadn't unlocked the gate to the park :-(

After talk of scanning barcodes on phones the woman in front of me today in the scanning queue had hers on her phone. She managed to bully the young lad scanning into trying to scan it and when it didn’t work she was sent to the unscannable barcode guy who wouldn’t write it down and just told her to check her position in the results. She was rather irate and complained about it being bad for the environment

The RD’s brief did specifically mention not scanning phones and said please don’t ask the volunteers to do this so I had no sympathy- felt sorry for the volunteers she berated though

I did wonder about all this talk of phones meaning more instances of people thinking phones were ok, just a a misunderstanding

I missed that MN as I was number checker, but I did see you while I was busy with my duties and couldnt say hello.

There also appeared to be an issue not long after the start with the front wheel falling off a double buggy. Both occupants and the driver appeared OK.

The back up timer I noted was using his own phone and so was at least one of the canners
