Re: Re: Never more than 6ft from a rat
although in the countryside and suburbs you tend to get more mice (apart from on arable farms where you get lots of both if you're not careful). In the city centre you tend to get fewer rats thabn the inner citys because pidgions outcompete them for food there (you've never been truly disgusted untill you've seen a pidgeon useing some old winos vomit as a birdbath). So rat population tends to congregate in its highest numbers in the inner citys and is therfore a cluster distributed species rather than a evenly distibuted species accross the british isles.
which gos to prove that you can back up really ludicrus untruths with stats
Beany said:according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom , the area of the UK is
244101 square kms, which is 244101 million square metres,
giving each rat an area of 244101 million/9 million
=27122 square metres,
which is approximately 165x165 metres.
So if all these rats were distributed evenly over the whole of the UK (which they obviously are not), you could never be more than about 82 metres from one.
