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!

What do you know today, that you did not yesterday?

"So you can fill up water bottles for the journey for free..? "

Yes.

I've never paid to fill up a water bottle!

But did you have to pay for food / drinks in the cafes you used?

If you can just walk in there and ask for water bottles to be filled then that's worth knowing, but I suspect that many would baulk at the idea if you weren't a paying customer.?

There's a 'fill your water bottle here' point at Chelmsford station certainly.

Well I'd say it's unusual not to get through security and sit down and have a cup of tea or something at some point.

But I think I've asked in the past at Leeds Bradford for them to fill up a water bottle at a quiet time and they've happily done it for me.

We usually take through a packed lunch. That's my Yorkshire parents for you... :-)

Might buy a cup of tea - probably wouldn't sit in any cafe though - not allowed to eat your packed lunch in their seats...!

Fair point.

At East Midlands Airport I had a pint of Castle Rock Harvest Pale after we went through security. It wasn't free though.
