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!

Only thing worse is if it's warm and wet.

Pronunciation of 'tooth' with a short vowel sound - 'tuth'.

Pronouncing 'tortoise' as 'tortoyz' or, worse yet, 'tor-toyz'.

I hate 'tuth' also.

And 'Hellin' for Helen.

And 'cuss-yon' for cushion.

Haven't come across 'cuss-yon' but is clearly wrong.

'Hellin' is, alas, common pronunciation in Essex.

tuth as in tuthpaste. When I first heard someone say that I thought they were taking the pith.
