WITH two reported sightings in Lydney and one in Bream this week, it seems rat infestations have reached alarming proportions. If one happens to see a furry fellow stroll across the lawn one should call the FODDC pest control service. Regardless whether the little monster is caught it will cost the caller £30, then if the aforementioned furry friend happens to cross the neighbour's lawn and they see it and report it, a cost of another £30 will be incurred. A nice little earner! Almost as bad as the car park cock-up. – Mary Meredith-Edwards.
