Surely most British spiders are dead by now with these cold nights?

All that thing does is rub its forelegs together to light the kindling, it'll soon have a hearty blaze going

Then it'll be a roast-bird eating spider

(and it's in Australia

)

They're all breeding in my house and sending out armies to take over the world, I swear that I have the biggest spiders in the country living here, mainly in my kitchen

I found what I thought was two massive spiders in the cupboard, sitting at the bottom of a pint pot - I had to get the bird to sort it out, as I turn to jelly on just the sight of these things - turns out that this massive beast has only just shed it's skin!! Must have been looking for somewhere nice and quiet to sort itself out!!! Makes me itch just thinking about it now!!!
