What is the world coming to.

People frightened of aggressive birds.
There aint no vultures in Brighton.
So a seagull tries to grab your fish and chips.
What next, a marksman on the pier to control the ravaging hordes of birds looking for food.
People are becoming a bunch of softies.

Perfect proof of the point I made Michael.
People were tough in the old days.

All that said I have the dubious distinction of having a seagull bite me on the nose opening quite a gash. We were sitting on the dock at Whitby, Ontario and I was making some kind of point with a french fry in my hand. Having made said point I leaned forward to put the fry into my mouth and ended up sticking my beak into the beak of a gull coming in to nab the fry. Thinking about all the unsavoury places a gull's beak can find itself we doused my beak in vinegar the closest thing we had to an antiseptic. That was in the early eighties, I am happy to report I still have my beak!

Got to keep them employed Larry, That and being a traffic warden is all they are capable of. And we got to many wardens already.

Oops. I think you just used a few key words.

The only vultures in London Dave are politicians and the like.
And when they are in an Expenses Claim submission fight that is an even uglier sight.
We can handle fights with little vulture birds with our hands tied behind our backs.
Nanny Whip helps out with the hand tying sometimes.

Once the vultures figure out that the seagulls are
having their way with the citizens, they will descend
en masse to get their share of the pickings. It will
not be a pretty sight.
