We have them in the town centre in Oldham. Sometimes have to pick my way over their bloodied squashed corpses on my way to work.
Joking aside, I've seen many dead rats in the roads in this town centre (morning time, before the council cleaners get to make them disappear). Many more than when I lived and worked in Bury town centre ( just 1 squashed corpse in decades).
I've even seen 3 live ones in the last year. All in broad daylight. 1 was scuttling under cars near my flat and the other 2 were running between shrubs, 1 in the gardens at the front of the library and another doing similar near the tramstop at Oldham Mumps.
