And in Germany, the German cockroach is known as the French (or Russian) cockroach. That's all right, that thing about calling them Norwegian Rats. then East to Great Britain and the United States. They probably started out in Southeast Asia, moved up with the traders and their caravans though the Middle East, took the boat to Denmark, then north to Norway (who got all the blame). The brown Norwegian rats ( as opposed to the smaller and noisier black rats which are very fond of my attic) are the most populous. Like in your kitchen where they can nibble in your bread, beans and butter-patties.

From a man without a philosophy no one can expect philosophical completeness. “There we are: ‘KW’ in a circle, a crown for gold - ‘750’, which is 18 carat gold. “I recognise my work in the way a mother would recognise her babies,” he says. Laying the medallion flat on the table before him, Williams attaches a jeweller's eyepiece to one lens of his glasses and bends for a closer look. Its eye, a tiny ruby, glints red for a second as it catches the light. A tiny bell dangles from each of he hare's feet, flanking the splayed frog and smiling sun which hang from the its belly. The medallion is just over five inches long and shaped like a trotting hare, its outstretched body filled with a swirl of intricate gold filigree. He opens the box, removes a layer of protective bubble-wrap, and lifts out a gold medallion which he suspends in front of his face by its chain.
