You heard it here (sort of) first. Back in April, Monkey brought you a story from the Sun about rodent sightings at the BBC's shiny New Broadcasting House. The Daily Telegraph reports that the problem has worsened to such a degree that building managers have now made catching the wee critters their number one priority and staff have taken to Twitter to keep their followers updated. "Mouse update: we're to report any sightings immediately – might sit cross legged on my chair in the Global studio today," wrote news presenter John Sopel. So, have the mouseketeers been successful in eradicating the pests? Apparently not. Journalist Sarah Fowler tweeted last week with the hashtag #furryneighbours: "Ladylike squeals and cries fill newsroom after yet another mouse sighting." Now that's the kind of tough, hard-bitten journalism Monkey likes to hear about from the Beeb.
