Browsing through the twitter feed first thing in the morning, with a cup of tea, as you do, I found this article about a rat found in Lincolnshire. Is that a rat? Sure big enough, but can they grow that big?
I can’t say I come across many, the only experience is when I was a kid up at the farm one summer. It seemed big but then I wasn’t so to adult eyes it was probably a mouse.

Well for years there have been rumors of giant rats in the sewers of NYC. I saw one ...
ROTFL, when they start riding the horses, then you know they're getting too big :)
