Live in a flat block.
External Door with security entry. (Buzzer System)
Once inside an Internal Door (Good UPVC Door with lock).
Once to my flat. Solid door with 2 locks. (Gets chained at night too).
If people want to break into my flat. Feel free. The most valuable thing is probably the laptop at <£400.

I have two umbrellas not sure how much damage they would do though, not really any weapons but the kitchen isn't far away and that has rolling pins and pans in.

I've always leave eggs, flour and milk by the front door. That way I can batter any intruders.

No weapons, front door unlocked unless I am out or in bed, Manchester as well.
I suppose if push came to shove, the dogs make quite a bit of noise. Two super soft border collies, no good to anyone.
In a pinch I have 12x 2kg blocks of lead and 2x 1kg blocks, and a pretty good fast bowl, a severely underused cricket ball errm, a savage wife if woken in the night, and a parrot who would squark up a storm... actually the parrot is probably the most dangerous thing in the house.
I guess some of the air cylinders I have about the house would be fairly unpleasant if swung, but 200-300bar air blasted in the face would be unpleasant... really clutching at straws now.
If a burgular was good enough to let me pop out to the shed, I could grab a mean breaker bar and torque wrench.
Sad the number of folk who feel the need to be tooled up and locked in, very sad indeed.

Our downstairs toilet is next to the front door. No other offensive weapons required.

Surely the logistics of keeping a weapon by the front door doesn't make that much sense???!!!
If some pie key kicks your front door in, I bet he can get the door off the hinges before you can get out of bed and run all the way to the front door. So you're just digging your own grave really...
