A highly amusing read. Regarding dangerous dogs, your article brought back vivid memories of my early teenage years attempting to deliver newspapers to a particular house that had a particularly vicious dog. I was chased away on more than one occasion (having daringly inserted the paper through the letterbox), and once got bitten rather badly. These days, I daresay the owner could be prosecuted, but it was merely an occupational hazard at the time. Bizarrely, the week after the dog in question tried to take a chunk out of my leg, I returned the next week to find a notice on the gate saying "Please leave our dogs alone". The irony greatly amused me.
