I think that you're missing the subtle point that I was (and I think
Peter was) trying to make.
I'm not shocked by your use of the second strongest curse in the English
language (the strongest, of course is 'thatcher'), but I would prefer it
if you didn't. It's not that I mind swearing, it's just that that word
is a tiny bit misogynistic. It's not my place to tell you what to write,
of course, but I couldn't resist having a poke at you.
If you'd written 'pikey' by the way, the poke would have been much sharper.

Apparently a water pistol works wonders with dogs, by the way! Havent
tried it though.

I had another incident today too. Some idiot had his dog off its lead.
Chased after me full tilt. I think the guy got it in time. All I heard
was a yelp behind me.

Peoples Palace is absolutely shocking in terms of dogs being off the
lead.

Have you ever read Richard's Bicycle book? I think that rouge* dogs were
a bugbear for him. I seem to remember pages on it. I don't think that
the owners have any idea of how damaged you could be by falling off,
even if the thing doesn't get its teeth into you.
