" London commuters have been left in fear after a &amp;#039;Farringdon mice&amp;#039; prank. Someone had decided to play a prank on Tube passengers by putting up a warning notice about mice. The handwritten notice read: &amp;quot;Please place the bottom of your trousers into your socks to avoid being a victim of the Farringdon mice.&amp;quot; There was a surge of excitement after the appearance of the sign, with several passengers taking pictures of it and uploading it to social networking site Twitter. One Twitter response to the notice was: &amp;quot;Do they need a big cat? I&amp;#039;ve heard one might be free.&amp;quot; Despite the excitement caused on the social networking site, the confusion soon died down when TFL revealed that there was no mouse problem and that it was just a harmless prank. A TFL spokesperson said: &amp;quot;The writing on the whiteboard at the station is not an official TfL message and has since been removed. &amp;quot;We do not believe it was written by a member of station staff and we&amp;#039;re not aware of any problems with mice.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Picture: An adorable gray mouse lemur &amp;gt; Fox rides the London Underground at night - picture "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
