Walmart Adverts

[Tilly2]

On my screen, I'm getting adverts for Norway Rat and Raccoon deterrent trash bags, called MintX, available from Walmart.

I am in England. We don't have Walmart here do we? Neither do we have Norway rats and raccoons. How odd.

[Psybbo]

I'm getting colourful pegs!

[Tilly2]

No! Not pegs. Argggggggh!

[Psybbo]

I blame sunny-dave, he put up the Amazon ad.

[Psybbo]

OH tells me Walmart owns ASDA

[Tilly2]

You shouldn't have clicked on it, sibs.

Yesterday I was getting adverts exhorting me to buy a goat. I'd rather have a lawn mower.

[Tilly2]

I knew about Walmart owning Asda, sibs.

What I don't know, is why I might need Norway rat and raccoon deterrent,

[jno]

I use it all the time, Tilly, and it works; haven't had a raccoon round here in yonks.

[Tilly2]

You didn't mention the Norway rats, jno. Are you still getting them? What are they?

[jno]

they're the ones with the horned helmets, Tilly.

[boxtops]

They come here on the Norwegian Line cruise liners :-)

[Tilly2]

Flippin' Vikings!

[Tilly2]

I have just looked it up. It's what we, on this sife of the pond, call a Brown rat.

[Tilly2]

Side. I am typing in the dark.

[jno]

they have names like Sigurd the Tillyslayer

Rattus Norvegicus, great Stranglers album

[Tilly2]

Slayers and stranglers! I must buy some of this mintx deterrent. I'm scared now.

[RATTER15]

We do have "Norway rats" they are what we see the most of, our common brown rat is "Norvegicus Rattus" commonly known as the "Brown Rat" our native rat is the black rat or "Rattus Rattus" now pretty rare, just seen around a few of the major ports.

[Tilly2]

Thank you, ratter. At least we don't have raccoons.

[Prudie]

I used to have 2 pet raccoons for several years, they were cuddly and playful.

I like raccoons, they look like bandits.
