Something inside my loo pipe

Speechless. Just hurried off through an open door.

You really don't have the faintest idea about sewer/drain systems do you?

You, as a sewer rat, probably have much more experience. But there has not been one rat come into my house via the toilet with the lid up. How many have you had?

The mystery is, the drainage is 'modern' (1976), using hepworth or Naylor glazed earthenware pipes with plastic/epdm connectors so I'm not sure where he could get in. This isn't an area that has a rat problem, lacking running streams or ponds, or fast food outlets.

Casing the joint for Father Christmas ?

Farms out in the sticks get a lot of rats, too. It's not just an inner city thing.

We've had rats out in the garden. But still no idea how it would get into the sewer pipes.

Rats can chew through many things. What makes you think a plastic pipe isn't one of them?

I think even a rat would struggle to chew through a 110mm plastic waste pipe from the *inside*.

Possibly from the drains. I opened the inspection chamber cover some time back and found a frog living in there!

But we are discussing how it gets inside, not how it gets out.

Bloody foreigners they get everywhere !
