Tac,

Now see, that's where GB is still less advanced than California where recently passed progressive anti-carnivore frightening legislation now prohibits threatening or warning in any way. In fact, the law now requires that any person discovering him/herself to be in the presence of any dangerous animal must immediately lay down, sprinkle barbecue sauce over him/herself and top it with a sprig of parsley.
They are however permitted to scribble a brief note of farewell prior to adding the parsley.
Though somewhat contrary to instinct, this response is preferable to the alternative; defending yourself in any way or frightening said carnivore leads to a mandatory life sentence without possibility of parole.
