Had anyone of you heared about that rat in the Lufthansa air plane? The
flight was interrupted in Hamburg IIRC and the entire air plane was
searched for the rat. Even though it was seen twice by passengers as
well as by staff it was nowhere to be found. And they must have searched
thoroughly because of the danger of the rat gnawing some important
wires.
I laughed so much when I heard it. I doubt it was a wild rat. My guess
is that someone smuggled his pet on board in his pocket and then it
escaped. Probably it returned to its owner and left the plane with all
the evacuated passengers, while varmint experts were looking for it
frantically. LOL!
After a few hours of fruitless search the flight was continued. Nothing
was heared about the rat anymore.
Anyway, if it were possible for wild rats to enter and leave a plane
unseen by anybody (yes, without even bothering to buy a ticket!
Stowaways!), what is that stupid UK quarantine law for?
About the idea of shipping to and from the UK, I don't understand what
this should be good for. Nearly all colours are available in the USA as
well as in the UK. I'm sure as soon as there is a big enough stock of
blues in Europe they will be imported to the UK with Julian and Jackie
as their bodyguards. ;-)
IMHO shipping is to be avoided if possible. And it's nearly always
possible.
