Doesn't look that big, look how close the rat must be to the camera compared to the guy holding it a spades length. The perspective puts this rat at normal for a big UK rat. I've shot just as big.

yikes We're gonna need a bigger cat! I hate normal sized rats so that thing would send me over the edge if I saw it in my kitchen.

The residents of Ravenscliffe estate in Bradford, West Yorks, are used to seeing massive rodents that sometimes appear in their kitchens and lounges
Why? WTF?

Can't these people look after themselves?

The massive rodents are bipedal, wear Kappa and smoke lamberts.

Buttercup: We'll never succeed. We may as well die here.
Westley: No, no. We have already succeeded. I mean, what are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp? One, the flame spurt - no problem. There's a popping sound preceding each; we can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand, which you were clever enough to discover what that looks like, so in the future we can avoid that too.
Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.'s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.

Uhura,

Look at their photos. They can't even wash. or iron. Or smile.

Fkin bradford, they should just burn it down, it'd be for the greater good.

For some reason I decided to go to Bradford on Sunday for "a nice walk around the city centre" - I haven't been for a long time, I won't be going again. I'm not shocked to hear about these rats but given how awful the place is I pity them, they should find somewhere more interesting to play.

Even the usually generic and reliable (yet lacking) Cafe Nero was a disgrace, it's like the whole population of the city have just given up, these rats are a highlight!
