Tak,
Think *B*ritta *a*nd *D*ennis. Put the first letters of the words together
and you get "bad." This has been Britta's sig for a long time.

Does that mean that there are rats crawling all around the market, or
that they sell rats at the market (for food??)

Believe me, I'm no angel ;-)))

Re your first paragraph, Britta....this is terrible but I just can't resist:
is it possible that the rats could "taste like chicken"? (nationwide USA
joke).

Ok, the rats are big, but they are not *that* big ;-) Oh, and usually they
don't have wings either, LOL!

April, cat I used to have did something similar.
I went to bed one night and she got under covers shortly thereafter. She
started jumping around under sheets and wouldn't settle down. I turned
on light and pulled back covers and she had a live mouse under sheets. I
don't suppose I am terribly afraid of mice but I don't particularly
enjoy them under the sheets. Serena and Sonscere' have never seen a
mouse but they come down hallway at about 4AM with a cloth ball in
their mouth and make that sound like they have caught something live.
Then I have to get out of bed and play ball for half an hour.

Why less chicken? (Did I miss something?)

Well it's because of that bird flu. Seems that there's a mass hysteria here
now and many people are not selling chicken anymore. Maybe it's because
they are killing all the chickens off trying to get rid of the flu, I don't
know. Thank goodness Tesco (big British supermarket chain) still sells the
boneless skinless chicken breasts that I eat so much of.

They did kill most of the chickens on farms in Thailand. Made the news
all the way over here.

I think you may be right, it's certainly a long standing joke here in the UK
as well. :-)
