Re: RATS!!!!

Never forget that in any city you are never 6ft away from a rat. They're pretty smart creatures - survival experts but I don't want them near me. Can't understand why anyone would feed them etc (unless they are the pet variety) they wee everywhere, gnaw cables and cause disease. When I lived in Vietnam in the 70s they were the size of cats and when we went to the cinema and the lights went down we all put our feet up on the seat above out of their way. The local girls in the Flower Market used to just kick them out of the way even although they were wearing flip flops. They got into our house and in case your imagining a hovel it was the British Ambassador's Residence and very grand. The same ambassador told me he'd eaten rat up country. Like chicken he said and very clean because it had been reared in a paddy field. Not something I wanted to emulate!
