- josefresco 8y agoNeat article, for those looking to save a click: "Urban areas in the UK cover around 16,000 square kilometres. If we distribute the rats evenly across the urban areas, which is clearly unlikely but necessary for the calculation, each rat has a rather spacious 5,000 square metres to roam around in. Assuming you're standing at a given spot in an urban area you would be at most 164ft (50m) away."

- tonyedgecombe 8y agoI was sat in my car at a motorway service station late at night recently and the place was overrun with rats. If people knew what was running around under their cars I'm sure they wouldn't have got out of them.
