Just done a bit of research as since I started this job, I would of liked it if pepper spray was legal to use for my safety. Obviously it's not, but there is a non noxious gas version which is 100% legal to use in the UK. It's called farb gel, going to get myself one along with a rape alarm - why I hadn't already invested in a rape alarm is beyond me! Silly girl! Lol. Google it, it looks like brilliant stuff. Just obviously using these things in your own home, I hope I don't wreck my own furniture/carpet etc, but obviously my safety is more important than furnishings. It's either that, or one of those combined rape alarms that emits a horrible smell and invisible uv staining. Not sure which I'd prefer in my house, a horrendous smell that is difficult to get rid of or red staining that's difficult to get rid of lol xox
