Interestingly, the program actually pointed out a lot of those
pictures are of pet African Rats :o
But it did back the Daily Mail up in that the issue is very much
true, and they are getting larger :D

First of all, that's the Daily Mail.. so 'nuff said. But...
I missed the program, I would of watched it had I got home in
time and known about it earlier. We do have a few corkers around
here now and again. Being on the edge of the town next to a farm
it's quite normal. I have not seen any that looked like those
though, fat and all shaggy looking, and have not seen one 2'
long either. Can confirm that standard poisons do nothing
though.
Don't expand the thumbnail below if a dead rat will upset you.
It is not something I like to do, but occasionally necessary. So
you get an idea of size, it is about 18" from the shed latch up
to the horizontal row of little studs in the wood around the
rat's head.

Not quite 2' yet, let's hope never around here :o
(edit: See TJ posted whilst I was writing with my same thoughts
on the daily Mail)

SAS are taught to eat most things in a survival situation...
Rats are VERY low on the list of options!
(Apparently)
