Theres some fake, rubbish news going around at the mo, but this takes the biscuit.
Rats chomping at the genitals/***.
And THIS coming from a news source.
I'd be more concerned about the state of my bog....all that s*it around the side!
Clean your toilet ladies and gents.

I think I'll give it a miss, Nails. Thanks all the same. :-)

Glad I've already eaten that would have put me off me tea!

[Tilly2]

I haven't had my tea yet so I'm definitely not looking.

Very wise Tilly!

in the very cold weather thirty or forty y ago ( -20'C central Birmingham) - the rats came out of the sewers ans started nibbling little babies whilst they slept.
( the gnawing stripped the periosteum from the bone and made wound healing very slow )

and surprisingly - there were rats around Newton Heath war memorial and more the second day soI photographed them and sent them in to Cllr Grimshaw who immediately clocked the health hazard.....

this was at the time when the bin men in lockdown were um so large they didnt all fit into the cab and were afraid of infecting each other - plan A - no bin rounds as tit was too dangerous
luckily plan A was called off

They must have removed the 'genitals' reference.

Rats are opportunists, clean or grubby they'll have go.

o god it is a dead rat
and boys and girls as you write and gurn ( the good ones- at the same time!) - there is a rat staring at you within 2 m I think

[Peter Pedant]

in the sixties in Rhodesia it was snakes biting you on the bum
in the p/k. ( piccninny khazi )
- wrong place - how do you apply a tourniquet?
er wrong place on the body - not on earth !

//there is a rat staring at you within 2 m//
at least they're adhering to social distancing

Just goes to show how humans are so negligent in their disposal of waste in normal times.

2 metres?
This is worse than Hammer Films, or the leccy bill!

I love that bit of the article, regarding rats in homes.
Where it happens, '' It would JUST be a couple of rats!''

Well that's OK then!

We are talking Fenton here Nails. If they are confined to the bog I call that an improvement on how it used to be.....But Smallthorne? I wonder what has changed there?

[Theland]

Is one a leafy suburb and the other not quite?

[nailit]

The five towns (six?) towns have gone downhiLL Togo Mate.

[Theland]

Years of austerity equals rats in the khazi?

I know Nails....when I came over to see the poppies at Middleport and the mural up Hanley I had a look around at Tunstall, Burslem, and Castle. What a shock. "She who must be obeyed" thinks it was always like that and that I must be making it up when I talk of my Parents and Grandparents. Tunstall was more like Karachi........but not as clean and tidy.
