Yes they can bite , I no this because I was bitten by one and it did hurt . I always pick Spiders up with my hand to move them , the one that bit me was as small as a penny . I had my other hand cuped on top of the other so it would not escape as I moved it I felt a pinching feeling and the fealing was getting more painfull , that's when I decided I had To let it go streight away , It stung for the rest of the day . I have picked up really large house spiders and not one has ever bit me . Strange .
I also know of as few people who have been bitten by spiders and they say it feels like being pricked by a holly leaf. A poisonos spider has never been found in England so you don't have to worry about that but i agree, you can be bitten by spiders in England.

Why are there no dangerous spiders in the UK?

Because spiders in the UK prey on small insects, stronger venom gives no advantage, it's a waste of energy. Natural selection therefore favours spiders with a less potent, more energy efficient venom.
