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!

[Oh God, I lost count of the times someone asked about the opening times of Tesco or similar over the Christmas and new year period. FFS just look at Tesco’s website people!]

Albert O Balsam I’ve copied these from Twitter too, and am very tempted to post one or two on our local group FB page, but fear that a large minority will accept them at face value! I don’t think that I could cope with the fallout!!!

Exactly Eynsham Red - and the fallout for these things on this type of site always goes ballistic with very little warning (and often on a bit of a tangent.)

We had a situation last weekend where a lady fell over in a nearby field and 2 ambulances and a police car attended, along with a helicopter. The conversation on FB went something like this.

Concerned local resident #1 "Ooh what's happened, just seen the helicopter?"

Concerned local resident #2 "Someone's fallen over and the emergency services are in attendance"

Less concerned local resident #3 "A helicopter landed in a field and some ambulances stopped by the side of the road....oh in other news I had a 1/4 pounder with cheese from Maccy Ds"

Confused Individual With Access to the Internet "If indeed someone on a call had food don't you think they may have been on a break and been called to the emergency? May have been the only thing they had all day...."

@simonharris_mbd has the full range of the front covers of "Local Facebook Group Magazine" on Twitter if you'd like to see them.

(Some are NSFW in terms of language so I won't post them up.)

(I think they meant "litter picking". It was possibly an auto-carrot issue).
