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!

I'm from Lincolnshire *High Sixes everyone* and say Scone (rhymes with cone :-)) ...but my Scottish in-laws say that that is the posh way of saying it (surely they've never been to Boston!!!)...

...Scone like cone sounds slovenly, whereas Scone like gone sound dreadfully "More Tea Vicar? Have you seen Mrs Timpkins topiary?" :-)

Isn't a Cornwall/Devon thing. One county does it one way, the other the other (as it were!)
