We were down on Perranporth seafront this morning having a coffee and watching the world go by ......when along comes this rather "large" family - Dad is a big tattooed fella, shaven head, vest and 3/4 length shorts (accurate description, not stereotyping but apologies for any offence ... Wink), Mum is also large and tattooed and 3 boys, ages I'd guess maybe 8 to 15 or so and also rather large but lacking tattoos. All carrying their fish & chip box - this was mid morning, so I'm guessing elevenses for them.

Anyway, I digress - on the seafront are a number of prominent "do not feed the seagull" notices, there for obvious reasons I'd have thought. But Dad decides these notices don't apply to his family and encourages the kids to put chips on the wall to attract the seagulls which sure enough they did. What Dad didn't realise is that one of the grateful birds would repay his kindness by flying overhead and depositing a truly magnificent dollop of "seagull mayonnaise" right in the middle of his food. Cue much profanity which obviously I couldn't begin to repeat on CT.

I thought we did very well to keep straight faces - which is more than his kids did.

Sometimes things just seem to happen for a reason - happy days!!! Laughing

Reminds me of a visit earlier to Looe in Cornwall where they obviously have problems with seagulls.

But the local Council have put up quite prominent signs which say  "WARNING Seagulls can be Vicious" but immediately underneath and in equally prominent words appear "By Order"

So is the local authority training their seagulls to be Vicious?
