I agree with Tony.

I'd be well fuming if i was the home owner getting a solicitors letter over no fault of my own. If he was out walking the dog and it attacked someone then thats a differnet story! But while he was sat at home minding his own business is not right if you ask me.

somebody told me to use a ruler ,fold leaflet on it and shove it in that way.  ive not tried it though !

[Steve Gunn]

Sorry chrisjohn but calling fellow members is not making you look good,you asked if it had happened to anyone on here if you don't want people to respond then don't post about your woes.Obviously your annoyed about what happened but that's no excuse for attacking fellow long standing members imo

NOTE: Inflammatory posts deleted don't know by who mod or chrisjohn himself

One of the leaflet distributors that I employed was an ex councellor and had a lot of experience of leafleting.

He swears by a wooden spoon..............

used in the same way as the ruler previously mentioned but not sharp enough to rip the leaflet.

My dad used to be a coal merchant, one house he used to deliver to had a dog tied up who used to try and get at my dad while he was carrying coal on his back....he told the owner of this and she replied he wouldn't get off the chain and he wouldn't bite....well he did get off and attatched himself to the back of the old mans achilles tendon, I think you know whats coming! 50 kgs sack of coal dropped on a medium sized dog....but don't worry it was instant

I tried ice scraper, various other pieces of plastic, thick card and allsorts, same method fold over and push. Never had any great success they were all adding time to the delivery. The leaflet was catching on the brushes in alot of letterboxes then getting pulled back out with whatever object i was pushing it in with. Very fiddly aswell

Best way is a5 leaflet half then half again doesnt have to be folded just losely rolled gives it a bit of body and can be done with 1 hand, flys straight in most letterboxes and your fingers go nowhere near.

Funny it was! I hate dealing with dogs of this size. Really freak me out.

Hi Chris

I find it hard to belive that you even contacted solictors

You of your own acorde went this persons house stuck your hand in there letter box
and got biten by there dog and now its them that have to pay.

after this your looking for money

you can paint it up what ever way you want but its nether the dog or the
owner asked you to put your hand in there letter box.
I would take a chance and say most people on here have been bitten by  a dog  but just get over it move on.

Well said Davy

If the dogs owners know that they have a dog with a tendancy to bite as soon as an inocent person puts a finger in a letterbox or even be aggesive as soon as they hear a person near a property, they should have a cage on the box or an outside box.

Personally I'd not have gone to a solicitor Id have gone back and carefully put a nice steak through the box with some rat poison on, in the hope that the dog would be there again and eat the meat.

i am sorry about your injury but i happen to agree with the above.

[Steve Gunn]

They coming to get you

[John Atkinson]

This is very bad. Dog owners should put some kind of a sign on the door, so that it is clear there is a dog in the house. I think that if there isn't a sign on their door everything is on your side. I suggest you go and make a few photos of the house.

[chrisjohn]

They coming to get you

Splendid,make sure they bring their Doggy Insurance or your Household Insurance policy. Expensive Summer Holiday here I come.Yippee!!!
