From the B&R - Rats!

They say that you're never more than ten feet from a rat in this country. I thought that probably only applied to cities, until I saw two stories in the B&R over the last couple of weeks.
First it was the nice bungalows down Forest Road - rats were burrowing around their gardens from a broken sewer pipe, and they didn't dare open the back doors in case the rats got into the houses. Now Dwr Cymru are mending the sewer pipe, which will hopefully solve the problem.
This week it's more rats moving into Newport Street, at the other end of town. It took five visits from the pest control man to sort out that infestation, but they seem to have gone now.
Any more stories like that, and we'll be getting a visit from a chap with a German accent, in red and yellow motley, playing a recorder.
