Re: hi-vis jackets/dog bites
You don't need to call the RSPCA, I'm not being cruel.....one shot, one kill - job done. As for a postie tazer, why not a cattle prod? It'd be useful to deflect early rising chavs asking for their benefit - (chav)"Oi mate! Ave you got the giro for....." Bzzzzzzzzz " (postie) "Sorry, I can't hand mail to people in the street - cheerio!"chunk wrote:smokerjim wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong ( I could well be ), but I think for workers on the highway, they have to use a specific level of EU regulated high visibility clothing.....day-glo colour with no reflective bands / dark clothing with 2 reflective bands would either be illegal or below acceptable standards for work on the highway. I'd rather my proposal to the problem was looked into as a viable solution, viz, issue all delivery staff with ex British armed forces Webley service revolvers......one growl from a mutt & 5 seconds I'd be on the blower to the local Korean restaurant!![]()
You started off being chased by a dog!
Now the RSPCA are after you and the local Korean community![]()
I would favor a postie tazer
you would need several thousand volts enough to immobilize a rottwieler but not fry a jack russel.
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?
Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

Re: hi-vis jackets/dog bites
I think the uniform attracts dogs full stop, with or without the hi-viz.
The owners of the business my wife works for have got a little Scottie dog, which is fine with me when I'm in 'civvies', but growls at me if ever I drop in there in uniform.
