He hasn't got a clue.
Help
Frequently asked questions about the site, and about Jones himself.
Why doesn't Jones know anything?
It's right there in the tagline. He hasn't got a clue. What he lacks in facts, he makes up for in confidence and a firm opinion about rain.
Is Jones a real person?
No. Jones is a cartoon bloke in a green jacket who lives on this page and answers questions with a mixture of Welsh pride and total guesswork.
Where do my questions go?
Nowhere. Everything happens in your own browser — your questions and Jones's answers are matched locally and kept only on your device (in browser storage) so your recent list is there next time you visit. Nothing is sent anywhere, because there's nowhere for it to go.
About
Ask Jones is a fan-made, not-for-profit parody built as an affectionate homage to Ask Jeeves, the late-90s search engine with the butler mascot. Jones is the Welsh cousin nobody asked for.
Advertise
Jones does not currently accept advertising, sponsorship, or "collaborations." He would, however, accept a decent Welsh cake.
Business Solutions
There are no business solutions here. There is a man scratching his head and guessing. If you were hoping for an enterprise tier, we're sorry to disappoint you at this stage of the funnel.
Privacy
This site collects no data on a server, because it has no server. Your "Recent questions" list lives only in your own browser's local storage and never leaves your device. Clearing your browser data clears it. That's the whole policy.
Add Ask Jones
You can't add Jones to your toolbar, and even if you could, he'd only slow it down. Bookmark the page instead — he'll be here, still not having a clue.
