    • Seems to be a lot of victim blaming going on here. Clearly a four year old child should not be riding a bike on a pavement out of sight of the adult who is supposed to be caring for him. Also clearly if the child ran into somebody from behind, he is not ready to be riding a bike in a place where people may be walking. Quite apart from the adult who in this case could have been badly hurt, so could the child. I wonder how those people on here asking how it was handled would have reacted if it had been them? All sweetness and light and apologies for having had the temerity to get in the way of the child? I'm pretty sure I would have been extremely shocked and annoyed.
    • Yes, do report it even if you cannot get info about the owner.  It’s likely that the dog has bitten other people (and dogs) already or will go on to do it again. I’ve been bitten by dogs in the past, owned by people I knew and they had bitten previously. One bit my face when I was putting her lead on. She had recently - about a week before - bitten the hand of a vicar who had been to discuss the wedding of the owners’ son.  The son was a doctor and he advised me to go to the hospital to start a new series of tetanus jabs.  I took his advice.  Unusual behaviour by a dog can also indicate health problems.
    • Another one for Aria! Super helpful. Went out of his way to advise (and fix) other issues that we never discussed and I didn't pay for. Running around ED picking up parts for my odd jobs. Didn't put any mark up on materials.  Clean and tidy. Very reasonable pricing.  Complimented my terrible tiling.  Will be my go to plumber from now on.
