Super rats

[Louis the Amigo]

HI SHIPMATES, I never met a rat who was a match for my shovel? rat traps are good, but you still got to get rid of the bodies, THANK for the offer of work gray-Marian , Captain kong but six rabid dogs are a bit of a tall order to get rid of that many M.P.s.? perhaps there may be an offer of work from you good self as my shovel would like to have a go at them super rats.

The Houses of Parliament has over 650 super Rats in there.
They should brick up the doors and windows, throw in Six Rabid Dogs and that should be very effective in solving the problem.

We heard about the 'Super Rats'here in Oz yesterday.

Good idea Brian but i fear no self respecting rabid dog would ever touch one of them, they might catch something!

Rats on the German Supply ship Charlotte Schliemann i think the Germans trained them to annoy the pows down in the bottom hold because when we tried to get to sleep they would run all over you and kept you awake infact some one would often scream out that the rats were pestering them .

The biggest Rats I ever saw were both in French Ports
In Petit Couronne near Rouen, we used to discharge wax and there was one rat there that was humungous, living under the hot pipelines and feeding on the wax drippings.
The other place was in Bayonne where due to bad weather we had to shift from our tanker loading berth where we were ranging up and down heavily due to the swells setting in, to a berth further up river just by and old grain elevator and the size of the rats there put even those that you saw in the USA around the grain terminals there, especially on the Mississippi.
