I was tempted to say 'call that a spider' but that would be cruel (lol)!Could it be a steatoda nobilis? From what I've read, there aren't many spiders in the UK that will actually bite a human. If it actually nipped you then it could be a possibility. Does anyone know what happened to the 'venomous spiders' that were reported to be living under Windsor Castle?

Do as you would be done by. Do as you would be did. A burning pot is mighty hot, so don't sit on the lid.
