Quote from: Flying Bomb on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 08:18:04 PMHaving been bitten twice in the last 5 years by dogs in the street unprovocked I don't trust any dog, well trained or not.
So now I always carry an anti dog spray and if they got nasty they would get a big lungful.

Yet another fine example of why not to keep a dog as a pet.
I've never heard of a cat unprovoked biting a person, and even if provoked, the most they can do is scratch and then run away.
To be fair, though, I cannot honestly say the same for a tiger.

The silly thing is, Granny,   I don't usually  pick up for a strange  number either,  but I was expecting a couple of calls,  so just for a split second, and without thinking,  I picked up.
That'll teach me ey.

Same with me. I know the doctor's will use a witheld number and about when they will call. A lot of the rest even get identified by the phone as a potential scammer. The question is why won't the phone companies just block these known scam calls? Oh silly me I forgot - they get a payment for calls that go through.

Not heard of the Tesco one, but have had phone call ones about the house. I always tell them it's rented. If they ask for the owners phone number I give them the local housing association for Thurso.
Yeah bad of me I know. BUT😆 😆 😆
