    A False Widow (Steatoda nobilis), maybe? Probably not, though.

    Probably best to just burn the house down and let the fire spread to the garden.

    That's a good guess (my speciality is indoor spiders)

    Interesting. My speciality is to become frozen with fear with shivers through my body and eventually come to a decision on a course of action.

    The bigger they are the more chance they have of meeting their end by my shoe!

    Forget the spider, how do so many people even know what a heroin/crack looks like?

    3 main ones:
    Tegenaria Domestica - small and brown/black, not too common if you have the below
    Tegenaria Duellica - big and brown/black, very fast, very mobile during mating season
    Pholcus Phalangoide - tiny body with big spindly legs, keep to themselves in the corner

    They're actually made inside the spiders body - made from a protein fibre.
