Is this true

[john75]

Recently I had some new carpets laid so I was alarmed to hear of South American beatle called the "Rug Mucher" that has come to the UK.

According to my friends in the pub the female "rug muncher can be picked up in nightclubs where it attaches itself to your shoe.

When you get home it makes in home in your carpet and slowly eats all the carpets in your house.

Apparently the "Rug Muncher" perfers to live in houses with one or more females living there.

Is this true or have I been wound up ?

Yup all true.

And you realise that your insurance company won't touch a claim on it either! Very expensive business.

Has to be a woman in comfortable shoes, though.

I think it has to be a woman in comfortable shoes though

[Incorrigible]

It affects your kitchen stuff too

You can get fur appearing on your cups

Got there first!

[john75]

Did not realise it could effect kitchen stuff as well ?

Have noticed a fishy after taste when drinking from my favourite mug could this be connected ?

Stay away from badly packed kebabs and never eat a vertical bacon sandwich either.

[mechsympathy]

I believe they also go after cardboard if they get hungry

[hughesie2]

Tick tock...

[phatgixer]

Do they munch on hairy bacon?

[TDTH1975]

I heard they like to feed on crabs

[pano amo]

Id be more worried about bringing back a pillow biter from the pub that a rug muncher.

Although thinking about it, sounds like they could be the same brute...

[towman]

Apparently, that well known restaurant on the South Bank is immune to the problem of Rug Munchers.

[RossMac]

The Rug Muncher swarm across Europe stopped in Holland, when they came across numerous dykes
