Re: JBW Ltd. URGENT Assistance required
We had a copper at the station I was attached to in London with a rude-sounding French surname. He was as English as you or I, but we called him "Frog". One Monday morning, Frog and I had cases before the local magistrates where some newly-appointed JPs were sitting. When Frog stepped into the Witness Box to give evidence and gave his full name, the JPs thought he was being facetious. The chair of the bench said to him, "Do you have another name, officer?" *Yes, Your Worship," Frog replied, "It's Frog."

msl:

The Black rat (Rattus rattus) is a common (hence the accusation of being Pleb) long-tailed rodent of the genus Rattus (rats) in the subfamily Murinae (murine rodents). The species originated in tropical Asia and spread through the Near East in Roman times (another thing that we ought to thanks the Romans for, besides roads, aqueducts and public toilets) before reaching Europe by the 1st century and spreading with Europeans across the world.
