Remember the story when huntsman spiders were brought over to Britain in bananas a few years ago! They are some big spiders and people were freaking about them being in their food! Understandably!
Thanks Jezter!

That is not a tarantula Minz
I'm very disappointed
agreed it certianly would terrorise you anyway!
Minz...guess what? You have the Canadians to thank for that spider. During WW2 us nice Canucks provided those who were back from the war free housing...trouble was, it was called Nissin (sp?) Huts...and they were stored somewhere in the Canuck wilderness, so some spiders tagged along for the ride.
It's called a Wolf Spider, and they can be really mean and actually try to go after you -- but they aren't poisonous. My dad was a UK Royal Navy vet of WW2, was given a Nissin Hut for his family and was plagued with these things. He even fashioned a corrogated "squasher" so that he could squash them when he saw them on the roof of the place.
They apparently love the English weather, similar to Canada's and thrived and because your winters are less harsh, so now you guys have more of them that we do.
I just saw one of these big guys on my desk...I was going to smother it with my regular sized coffee cup, but the cup wasn't big enough. :O I made 2 attempts at trapping him but he scurried behind...so I left it.
*It's a Nissen Hut BTW - just googled.
