Tube passengers warned of mice attacks
Orange News 29 August 2012, 11:40
Commuters on the London Underground were alarmed to spot a sign warning them of the danger of mouse attacks.
The message, on the official noticeboard at Farringdon Station, told passengers to tuck their trousers into their socks to avoid being bitten.
The sign was photographed by passengers and posted on Twitter where it was viewed by thousands of people.
But a mischievous prankster was suspected of being behind the warning after a Transport for London spokeswoman said it had not been penned by Underground staff.
The Service Information sign said: "Pay Attention. The mice at this station have been attacking customers.
"Please place the bottom of your trousers into your socks to avoid being a victim of the Farringdon mice."
The TfL spokeswoman said: "The writing on the whiteboard at the station is not an official TfL message and has since been removed.
"We do not believe it was written by a member of station staff and we're not aware of any problems with mice."
