rat race

Rat_race

East London has always been home to rats. And now there are a few more. This is 'rat race', a thing we've done which can now be seen in our office window on Hanbury Street EC1. It was devised and made by The Siders, with help from Tom and David. It's a tube map made from real tubes, living in which are real rats. Here's one of them. It could be Richard. Or maybe Theo.

We've taken every care to ensure that these chaps are living in rat luxury. No rats have been harmed in the creation of this display.

A rat. On the tube. (See what we've done there?)

Rat lovers gather in Hanbury Street to marvel.

And there's more. Yes, it's interactive! You can click your mouse on our rats by visiting ratbook. It's Facebook for rats. And you can 'friend' your favourite rats.

Is there any way you could have a window quite literally raining cats and dogs?

what about putting a human in a tight glass box with rats crawling around and looking in???..............oh wait we have that already... the london underground.

This is too ridiculous.

Just thought you'd like to know that the ratties featured in your oh-so-slick ad campaign are alive and well and living with me in Bow. They are mightily relieved to be out of the spotlight and those damn tubes, and spend their days munching on delicious fruit and veg concoctions,play-fighting, sleeping, plotting how to escape, eating again... oh and eating. Favourite foods are dried banana chips and yoghurt drops.

Yum. Nice to hear they're doing well.
