Actually I brained mine with a golf club.

You're lucky you weren't brought up on charges like Antonio Caeiro, or Tony Martin, just to name two.

Haven't heard of Antonio - can you post a link?

As for Tony Martin, he shot a minor who was running away from him twice in the back with a shotgun. That is not reasonable force here.

Tony Martin shot two men as they were running away from his farm house, I smacked the guy as he was in my house.

I didn't boast to the police, all I said was that with two children upstairs I heard a noise as the bloke slipped my windows and was climbing in, in other words I used reasonable force to defend myself and my family
