Keeping Safe

[Eve]

I found out last night that there is a serial sex attacker on the loose locally, in additional to another rapist who has also been striking nearby, was on Crimewatch the other month.

He struck 6 times last month including in the next street to me which is my route home every night. It's scary to think if I'd not popped into the office after a work night I'd have been there round the time he struck and could have been me.

A friend of mine got chased after a night out a month or so ago and a friend of hers got grabbed a week or so after that.

Just seems like there are so many sick people about. With the arthritis and currently post minor surgery I'm not best placed for running or fighting anyone off and can't help but feel quite vulnerable at the moment.

Am doing what I can to keep safe, my friend gave me an attack alarm earlier and I have a bodyspray in my bag though I do partly worry about the possible repercussions of carrying anything which could do much damage these days. I've heard alarms are more often than not ignored these days and to shout fire or blow a whistle, go for the groin etc...

Any more tips welcome!

Some dirty old fiend touched my bum once. I told him if he ever did it again, I would kick him so hard in the balls, he would be physically sick. The look of dread on his face spoke volumes.
