Just thought I should let you know that the address where these two twatting dogs attacked me from on Sat past has had their mail suspended until further notice. I went and had a nice long constructive talk with my local Polis today giving them a statement as to the events. Boys in blue assured me that said owners or persons in control of dogs will be getting a visit later on today. :dance :dance

I don't think the poll works. People who haven't been bitten wont vote and those that have will.

I have never been bitten but there are about 3 in our office (out of 100) that have been bitten to the point of causing bruising.
At a basic guess, I'd say it was 3% of RM staff have been bitten but not 93% (13 out of 14 so far)
