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 may take a look at signal, though, WhatsApp seems to be on the slide.

I’m not actually “that” ckncerned about privacy; as people have said Facebook and Instagram have lots of stuff about me already. I’m more concerned with them bombarding me with spam adverts and people they think I should contact (as they do incessantly on fb and insta) - that would trigger me to move I think - I’ve downloaded both the others to try and (so far) Signal seems more user friendly.....
