Those of you visiting Cornwall, please note.....

We were in Cornwall a couple of months back and while waiting outside the public loos in Mevagissey for Yvette to emerge, a group of girls with ice cream were wandering by.
I saw the seagulls hovering over them looking down, .............. wait for it, wait for it, ........... a loud scream and one of the ice creams was gone.

A few days later while tucking into our Cornish pasties in Port Isaac, a chap with pastie in hand wandered down to the beach bit on the harbour and pointed out to sea to his wife with the pastie hand, and you know what happened next , he wandered back up the harbour muttering " I did not even get a bite of that, suppose I'll have to get another one now", so he was following the new seagull policy.

My ex-OH got similarly mugged in St Ives.

We had just sat down for a quick lunch on the harbourside. The cunning seagulls posted a 'spotter' on a rooftop then half a dozen of his mates attacked from behind, taking Barrie's pastie in one swoop. Luckily, I had opted for a pot of delicious beef stew which they obviously didn't fancy

Slick operators!

Hopefully all the Seagull lovers will get a campaign going ASAP to encourage all the UK Seagulls to take up permanent residency in Polperro and surrounding area

Cuh! Typical half-baked money-grabbing ploy by local shopkeepers to increase sales.

Get stripped to the waste, tied to a pole, get covered in tomato sauce and chips and offered to the Seagulls

Hopefully our seagulls will migrate permanently to Cornwall Ours don't mind who they mug - locals, visitors, anyone who invades their territory with or without food. Instances of people needing A & E treatment after an attack. Notices from the Council to stop feeding them seems to be ignored particularly by visitors.

Flying Rats, stop feeding the damn things.

Who - the seagulls or the visitors……….??

 

[chrisgreen]

it's illegal to kill seagulls

 

[daveclare]

Nothing on Cornwall council website. Great wind up.

 

[autorouter]

IMO it's a totally misguided policy. That just encourages migrants by the thousands, even from across the Channel. We need to break their business model. Undesirable gulls that commit any such offence should be detained, and deported to landfill sites far from the seaside, where they can stay until they have learnt their lesson.

[dabhand]

Be as kind to them as you want, they’ll still sh*t on you from a great height!

 

[Silver-Fox]

It must be a wind up as there is no such thing as a Sea Gull

No such thing as a Seagull then, ah.

A couple of Browning "Up & Under" Shotguns is what is needed down there. I used to love a good Skeet Shoot when Clay Shooting, funny enough that was with my mates on a farm in Cornwall also.
Who doesn't like a nicely seared Pigeon Breast after all.

I was sea boat fishing in Dorset and upon casting my bait a seagull swooped and grabbed the bait. It flew off with me air playing it for a few minutes until the hook released.
The captain said if you bring it in you get off the hook but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Happened to me less than a fortnight ago in Cornwall.

Purchased a couple of the renowned and expensive pasties from Sarah's Bakery, in Looe, east Cornwall. Took them up to a quiet spot along Marine Drive, gazing romantically out to Looe Island. The sun was shinning and everything was right with the world, as we began to devour our pasties.

Hadn't even noticed any seagulls around, and then from nowhere (well, behind me actually) a blo*dy great gull swoops down and takes a chunk out of my pasty. At least I managed to wrestle half of it off the damn thing...

Obviously didn't fancy Mrs mikebeaches' pasty, 'cause hers was vegetarian!

 

[Pekepal]

Can we send all the seagulls from Folkestone down to Cornwall please - oh for a rest from their dreadful racket at dawn and decorating our car and motorvan!
