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 just think if he's a kid, he's having a bit of a rant about something he probably doesn't know a great deal about. I'm fairly sure we all had an issue with authority when we were younger.

Don't highlight his blog so that people can go and attack him.

Most people from a young age are aware of the coast guards and the work they do. I don't think age is an excuse to be fair

no quite right - heard someone say jobs worth earlier on when I was trying to ensure a young lady could get home okay and was safe - mind you drinking vodka at 09.00 of the mornings going it a bit. The other course of action was paramedics or arrest her, neither seemed approppriate.

It's no reason, like Pudds said, to highlight the blog so people can go and attack him.

Très unfair.

It wasn't obvious he was a kid to me. I only went back and realised it when Pudds pointed it out.
