"A rat attacked me.

I was putting the bins out on Sunday night. I've told you before about the infestation of the rats in my area," he said. "It was night time.

I had my big slippers on. I was pulling the wheelie bins out and as I'm dragging them up the street there must have been a rat in the bin." "So the movement of me pulling the wheelie bins has disturbed him.

He's gone to leap out of the bin and he's jumped on my f**king neck! Behind my neck! He sort of slithered down my body, and sort of rolled onto the floor.
