Bryster you do know that the UK must be about the only country in the world that doesn't have rabies. Every time I go anywhere abroad I'm always wary of the wildlife just in case they are infected, 'cos I know what it's like to get infected by rabies. Not personally but a friend got nipped by a cat in Greece and came back to find out they had contracted the disease. It took months for them to go through the treatment and be fully cured. Catlin
