Pepper spray is good - it works wellagainst someone attacking you, but its not like a knife - you aren't going to end up killing someone if it all kicks off. No lasting damage.

Just in case asnyone is thinking of taking Giles´advice ... carrying pepper spray in the UK is illegal. Not only is it possession of an offensive weapon (s.1 Prevention of Crimes Act 1953 - arrestable offence, 2 yrs max. penalty (I think it´s 2)) but most, along with all CS sprays, are prohibited weapons under the Firerams Act 1968, again arrestable but with much higher max. penalties and quite posssibly short sentences of imprisonment even for first offences.

When my nose started burning eyes streaming throat burning made the mistake of rubbing my eyes .

Bit of advice if you ever get CS or pepper spray in your eyes ...

DON´T rub them
DON´T splash water on them

DO blow air over them - sit in front of a fan, waft your face with a magazine or whatever, for 10-15 mins. (And remember the stuff settles on skin, clothing, etc. so if you then touch them and then your eyes you´ll start it all off again - everything contaminated should be cleaned)

(I know this from experience - in the first few weeks my team got CS spray they managed to spray me during incidents about four times ... they said it was by mistake but I´m not so sure ... )

I once saw a PC in the custody suite in a paper suit in front of a fan and his uniform hung out on the cage....

btw CS gas isn't used in the UK, it's CS spray which is considered safer.

CS gas is designed to get into the airways and lungs (it´s a gas). CS spray is designed to get onto the mucus membranes of the eyes and nasal passages and cause irritation to disorientate (it´s effectively an aerosol). Obviously there is some risk of a relatively small amount of CS getting into the airway but it is blown out of all proportion by those who oppose the use of the sprays.

Nah ... he was just the station fetishist ...

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Every time I've seen CS spray used it looks like a long thin streak of piss (best way I can think of describing it)

If the ticket machines are not working then all barriers should be open - they should never ever have unmanned barriers at any station.

If they do - then they're putting profits before safety... again.

Once again you display your ignorance. In the event of an emergency/evacuation situation, safety will be put first. At the flick of one button all gates can be opened remotely from the station control room or ticket office.

In the event all ticket machines not working and the ticket office being closed customers are advised to pay at destination.

You reckon THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. Well sorry, that's not true, 'the customer always comes first' is a better phrase. The customer is not always right, sometimes customers are misinformed, fare-dodging vandals like yourself.

You may think I am a jobsworth, but believe me none of the staff under my supervision would ever think to chase a no mark cunt like you for a measly 2 quid.

We're too busy talking about where we'll spend our next two weeks off.

Yep, it is more liquid than gas, but there is a limited aerosol (airborne solution) aspect to it but certainly far more like a manual pump-action perfume dispenser than a fully aerosol deodorant can. Think of one of those adjustable hoepipe nozzles - it´s not quite single stream but only a notch or two up from that and certainly not full spray/mist.

I only said that if I had some, and if someone smacked me in the face, I would use it on them, as a general point. If someone physically attacks me, then all normal rules of play and considerations are suspended. I'm not going to waste time reading the damn manual, am I?

Giles..

then i'd be full with in my rights to break your legs for attempting to gas me by default i'm not going to watse my time explaining to a muppet liek you why even yourtiny brain should work out that gas emitted in a confined space will spread... (have you never been in a lift when some ones farted ffs ijet think... even with your machoisitic posturing...)

besides you'd be too busy chocking from your own spray as you'd be the second person that it affected....

My ex will force other peoples umbrellas out of his face with some force if they are about to poke him in the eye. I usually think he's a selfish bastard but he's right in the case even if i find it, im my British way, "causing a fuss".

i always find holding a lighter to them tends to ge tthe attention of the person who's attempting to use their brolly as a barge board through london...
