    Yeah, an alarm might be best, perhaps with some dye - I saw combinations on Amazon. I also saw a few alarms that were sold as pendants, which if hung around ones neck and going off at 130Db can't be great for the ears. At least with skunk spray the only lasting damage is in needing to take a week off work as the smell subsides, and the burning of all ones clothes.

      Have you met Cojak?

      I reckon the fella had a lucky escape.

        Blowing this out of proportion no?

        You were in one of the biggest cities in the world and another human was walking along in a similar direction to you, although they didn't do anything.



        Nearly as scary as Global Warming that is.

          no.

          for every zebra that a lion catches, it chases ten. for every mugging, there were nine 'sizing ups' and for every sex attack, there are nine near misses.

          not sure what the stats are for green apocolypse scares, im sorry

I checked to see if he was still there only to find that he'd disappeared.
              So, when he saw your face he lost interest?

              Seriously, probably nothing but best to be safe.

                To be fair, she was sarf of the river.

                I'm always aware in certain areas of the city and mindful of my surroundings and London Bridge area can be dodgy at the best of times.

                Better safe than sorry and glad things were ok.

                    10 minutes from London Bridge Tube.

                    But no harm done, eh?

                      He was probably working up the nerve to ask you how much you charge.
