Not wishing to worry anyone but I found one of those in the kitchen of my old flat in solihull. Notice I said OLD flat. I guess the extra heat of the city means in can cope with the Northern cold.

Will try and dig out the pics...

I thought it had been fecking cold for the last 3 years at least. Does this spider like the colder climates then?

You need a killer cat to wipe out all the spiders, how is the little white haired person btw?

I thought melting of the ice caps would turn down the atlantic gulf stream, making the UK colder. Or something (what's the latest popular doom-monger theory these days anyway?).

limited access to the house, although I did come downstairs to find the front door slightly open and nothing swiped :>)

Climate Change, like Mexican Swine Flu, Weapons of Mass Destruction and a depleted Ozone Layer, brought to you by a totally honest and above reproach govt with a flawless rep......

I Can't believe they've written all that, then ended with that ridiculous line that basically says the rest of the story was bks!

FFS, this is the THIRD spider thread (!) running. At this rate they will need their own forum.
