Arachnophobia in the UK is an inordinate fear though, due to the fact that we are harbourers of 'safe' beasts.

However!!!! Why live in Australia where you can quite easily get a funnel web bitin' yer bum whilst sitting on the loo?

If you live in Melbourne or Queensland, be VERY careful putting on your shoes in the morning!!!

I still cringe over finding the cockroach in my pocket!!! YUK!!!!!
