When we had an outside loo (bucket in tiny shed), one year, hornets decided to build a nest above the door, inside. (I was about 8)
My dad's reaction?
Don't move too fast and they won't hurt you!!

He was right :-D

Mind you, I 'did my business' pretty quick!! :-S

Bob ~ next time I see a big spider in the house I'll call you........ bring a big glass bowl & a large plank of wood.

:-0

If you can't catch the spider, hit it with the plank.

:-D

His grey matter didn't work very well either
