Mmmm, might ask management if I can claim mileage allowance for Italy, (know what the answer will be) ;D
Did Karate when I was younger, but had to give it up to study for exams, my dad thought I was dossing too much and was probably right. Taught basic restraint techniques and very basic self defence, never had to use it, only been in a couple of threatening situations with work, and managed to talk my way out. Tend to get to know any problem families quite well, and spend time with them at clinics before visiting the houses. By the time I go into the house they know me very well and vice versa.
It's random attacks that are scariest I think, and lets face it they can happen to man, woman, child or even pet. There are some bad beggars out there, but they are in the minority. It makes my blood boil that some people are afraid to leave their houses eg. the elderly for fear of attack. >
