Err the parsley song, perhaps your message doesn't translate well and I've misunderstood, but I don't know what I've done to deserve such a condescending tone (full-time working mum of two, with, yes, a nanny - apologies for not updating my username).
As per my original post, I hadn't seen rats running freely on the paths in common and was just warning others whose children might also play in the leaves. Well aware there are rats in London
Completely agree people should respect the signs by the pond and not feed the ducks.
Happy new year to all xxx
