I decided to share this with you and wonder if you have similar experience.

I went for a walk in dulwich park with my son and when we walked over the boardwalk.. somewhere in the middle.. I realised we were surrounded by rats, I have to admit I was (my son didn't mind :) )in shock! I have never seen something like this, soooo many rats around me...grhhh!!!I have seen them before but this picture was something really crazy to see! Hmm not sure if I'll go back there again :(

It depends which side of the park you're from - those from the Hole call them voles. But yes, there are a lot of rats about - cheerful, bright-eyed little souls that have got quite good at swimming and hide under the bridge in the hope of crumbs or coot's eggs.


If you don't like them, then you can stop pretending to feed the ducks and put the crumbs in the bin. But the little Marmadukes and Maisys can quite enjoy the rats, and it's not as if they carrying the plague. Yet.

God - that's a bit 'Royston Vasey'! You're joking no?

I saw the rats on the bridge too! One ran towards me whilst another one was watching from the edge of the bridge! Completely freaked me out that I ran with the buggy off the bridge like a woman possessed! I really don't want my son to pick up on my fear of rats/pigeons. We had seeds bought from the cafe to feed the ducks and were told the bread people are throwing are attracting the rats aswell as being really unhealthy for the ducks.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
