Fact but not without camera tricks,that rat in bradford was a normal size rat held up to the lense.

Let's not forget our own 'King Rat' threads of 2007 and 2008.

 

The 2007 winner was 19" and there were a fair few approaching that length

And the 2008 competition got to 19 3/4" in two months, before we lost the judge

Biggest one I know of was taken in a Fenn. 21 inches from the tip of the tail to the tip of the nose about 24 years ago.

It's a load of bollox with the bradford rats i know a lad in ravenscliffe who apparently lived a couple of doors down from

where they were spotted and he aint seen anything.

 

Bradford T&A ran a story you can probably find it on net
