Ah Jaywick, it takes a special kind of place to keep house prices 1/6th of the surrounding area when there's a direct 2hr trainlink to London.

Poor woman, what a terrible way to go. I hope they throw the book at this man. He would damnn well know he had a couple of large and aggressive dogs. They were his responsibility to train and make them safe, but I'm sure he got a kick out of how scary they were.

**If anyone is confused. New XL bullies are banned. Current owners can get their dogs grandfathered in. Putbulls are already banned. The identification of banned breeds (especially when the dogs mixed) is a bit woolly.
