anybody know what this font is - I see it everywhere
Most recently "which?" magazine has used it - it also has a light version
FF Sheriff is similar, especially in the treatment of the lower case serifs:

Which? Magazine (which is the same as your sample I believe) uses is a custom-designed font family simply called Which. There is a serif (like the sample ) and a sans in a variety of weights. I don't know who designed it.
Marc's suggestion of FF Sheriff is an excellent one since the lowercase looks nearly identical. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same designer.
Here are samples:
