I have to agree with Alan here, if I am out running on the common and get attacked by a dog am I within my rights to defend myself by all means possible? ie to prevent getting bitten can I pick up the nearest heavy object etc


As for Keef's point, the common land is for the enjoyment of all people not just dog owners.

That's entirely different, if you were attacked then its perfectly reasonable to defend yourself! I like dogs but if one attacked me of course I would defend myself. If however a dog gave me unwanted attention that wasnt of the "attacking" variety eg joined my picnic uninvited I would tell it off! I dont believe it reasonable to resort to violence in such situation.

Why say nothing? Why not tell the dog off and ask the owner to call the dog away?

Blimey - this is all rather heated. I have been following this thread all afternoon and I must say that I think that certain people?s attitudes to dogs are despicable! I often walk a friend's dogs and trust me, if they were simply to run past someone and then were kicked I would have no issued in reporting that person to the police.


I agree that dogs should be kept under control, but keeping them on a lead in a park? Perhaps people who are that worried should stay at home, wrap themselves in cotton wool and never eat hot food ? just incase they scald themselves!


If you?re ?attacked? by a dog or a person, you have every right to defend yourself and I see no problem in doing that. I think you should define attack Alan Dale ? does this include brushing past your legs?


I find it quite rude that you?re saying dog owners are lonely and insane. Dogs are lovely animals and I wouldn?t chose to own one myself, as I don?t have the time. I would suggest that people who are labeling dog owners take a good look at themselves before casting aspersions!

Alan, you are surely a wind-up merchant. Nobody could really believe what you're saying. You sound like a lonely insane old man to me - whereas the pro-dog people on here are coming across as rather more well-balanced, reasonable people.


Perhaps you should get a dog? It might help you ;-)

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
