Rats! Even the BBC has the menace
July 1st, 2012 - 10:16 pm ICT by IANSLondon, July 1 (IANS) If you have been making a song and dance about a mere mouse in your office canteen or around your seat, take it easy as even a high-end place like BBC office is not spared the mice menace.
The BBC is battling a plague of mice in its canteen, as horrified staff at the eaterie - famously the butt of jokes by stars who use it - have repeatedly spotted the vermin, The Sun reported Sunday.
Rodents scurry across the restaurant floor, leave droppings in kitchen preparation areas - and one was even found dead in the fan of a fridge.
Despite bosses hiring pest controllers who have been accused by the BBC of falling down on the job at its White City headquarters in west London, the invasion has continued.
