when I worked in my first supermarket, a life time ago, the mice used to go in the dairy chiller and you could see little footprints in the butter. In another store the squirrels used to come in after the Cadburys fruit and nut.
Kitty I'm not gonna comment on the mice eating anythin though lol.......
luv Lesley xxxx

We had a cheeky little mouse in our house. He ate the black currant that Mum had topped and tailed and put on the scales to weigh for jam.

Eventually, my father decided he had enough of ‘Little Johnny’ as we called him. He set a few traps and caught 15 ‘Little Johnnies’. After two or three, we didn't feel so sorry for ‘Little Johnny’!!!!!

Well Maggie - I have to ask - what exactly d'you imagine this little mouse is going to do to you if you should meet? Savage you, drag you across the room! They're only little and I think they are rather sweet

My girls had pet rats - after the hamsters, guinea pigs etc. Eldest had an ex underground rat - a friend of hers found it as a baby on the Waterloo line. She was lovely. Youngest got 2 males from a pet shop - they grew huuuge as did their manhoods!! In fact one was called Testicle, the other B*ll*ck!!
I wasn't too keen on them as they constantly pee.
Still don't like wild ones - they're too clever!

The mouse - it was a large mouse rather than a small rat - is now well & truly dead - and in the bin!!

Well, going to bed now. Will try to sleep with one eye open...lol.

Glad that you caught your rather large mouse Maggie. Hope I only have tiny ones!

An update, caught 2 mice, this morning, one in each trap. Why do I feel so guilty now! Hubby thinks he's found out where they are getting in, so will sort that later today.

And, yes they were only tiny ones.........lol.........
