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 once asked the Internet the same question and got gunned down in flames.

Apparently, sometimes people who need help with bathing don't want to be smelly between carer visits, so extended freshness from a product helps them a lot.
Of course, you can't market the product like that!

72 hour freshness = good thing👍

[ Our local Chinese and Indian takeaways use similar, but ever so slightly different, plastic tubs.

Their lids only work on the correct tubs, leading to occasional swearing as the wrong combinations are selected... ]

Why Scottish Water spend money advertising.

They're the only company. We pay for it out of our taxes. What do they gain from advertising?
