After paying for my tube ticket ($8.02) and a cup of coffee ($3.46), I realized I was going to need some help. I called Donald Olson, author of Frommer's London From...
...renewed criticism. MEANWHILE IN GERMANY ... Mail Bonding The German post office said that giving mailmen training in canine psychology had reduced dog attacks by up to 80%. All 79,000 carriers have now followed courses giving tips on how to read a dog's body language and how to mask fear (Rule No. 1: Don't run away). The strategy has been much more successful than their previous attempt to cut attacks by using CS gas. The mailmen were usually attacked before they could deploy the canisters...
