I am Not making this up! Literally, just now, a local builder has turned up at my gate. He says he's seen a place where the roof space is heaving with rats. What's to do ....?
Usual conversation took place. Then, he came out with it .....
" Here! I have heard that ... " (I inwardly groan. Here we f**kin go again!) " If ye put a rat in a cage. And throw petrol over it. And set light to it ....! Its screams will drive all the other rats away and they'll never come back again?! "
And I'm thinking; " What are you? F**king ISIS now?! " Honestly: Does Any other trade out there have to listen to half as much complete and utter boll0x as we do?
Yep. Read a fully verified account myself, some lunatic threw a mouse on a bonfire. Mouse shot off into the guys house and took the lot up with itself.
