You know whats running through that spiders mind.. "its me or him"
I found one of those hateful little sods hiding under unvented cylinder in the box nearly hit the roof when I saw it.
No make and 8mm pipework.. At high flame I coulda sworn it was guy Fawkes
Didn't have any on me, so just pulled my sleeve over my hand.. Literally a year ago I would have told the office I didn't make the job and got someone else to go haha

Looks just like a false widow to me, markings on the back and everything.. People have had limbs amputated and some people have died from their bites - there was an influx of them in the UK not so long ago
It's when you have to shut the water off externally and you lift the manhole and there's about 20 of the buggers! I then shut the lid and go find my stopcock key. I refuse to put my hand down that spider infested hole!!!
Read the Daily Mail less.
You are less likely to be bitten by one than you are to be stung by a wasp, should you encounter both. They are less aggressive than wasps and their bite is less dangerous to most people than a wasp sting.
how bad individual cases of unlucky people can be is no grounds for regulating your caution. aussies live among endless dangeous critters yet remain largely panic free. perspective, innit.
Everything is perspective I guess.. And knowing the facts. If you don't know the facts then your perspective is based on either ignorance or fear (I've had way too many glasses of wine lol)
Don't get me wrong. If I saw one I'd **** myself too. But what I'd be trying to tell myself is that there is very little reason to do so. Tabloid hysteria (like advertising) works on you even as you're laughing at it's ridiculousness, that's why it's so pernicious.
The problem is then you get lynchmobs waving firey pitchfork looking to exterminate hoardes of local paedos, baby stealing foxes or puppy savaging seagulls

I may have imagined it but seem to remember Chris Packham doing a tour or tv and radio shows during the height of the hysteria to call bull**** on it. I seem to remember him having one on his hand at some point while talking about them.
