There are a lot of rats in Britain (but not as many as we are often lead to believe - http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20716625).
It sounds to me like someone has spotted one and Tesco have called in their contractor to check all the traps/bait (present in most supermarkets somewhere). Not entirely sure what they have done wrong? I think our local EHO's should be more concerned about Hertford's intrinsically unhygienic and pest engendering domestic recycling processes (with summer on its way?) rather than the odd rat round the back of a supermarket!

I understand the rats have been named as Terry & Philip and are the blood sucking kind ha ;)

Some of the vox pops made me laugh. The article is unclear about where the rats have been found and how many. I've seen them in Bluecoats myself.

My fovourite vox pop is "Something’s got to have attracted the rats - they don’t turn up for nothing."
Um its a supermarket - full of food

Don't know if the hastily boarded up Costa coffee stall is connected to the issue, although I strongly suspect the 'selling out' of the local Mercury edition is...

This is brilliant. I've found something I care about less than anything, anywhere and always.
