East Devon District Council said people who feed the aggressive animals could be hit with an £80 fine as part of a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO).

I'd like to see it introduced all around the coast, bloody things are a nuisance everywhere.

I'd better put a LOL LOL with that in case some take it seriously.

I don't feel that we have the right to kill them when the only reason is that they get in our way.

• Find a tasty recipe that needs Gulls – this would make people feel better about killing them
• Employ toddlers to run after them and chase them away.
• Cats and dogs could also be used but there may be carnage.
• Employ a bird of prey to ‘manage’ the problem.
• Or use noises that we can’t hear but they can to chase them off.
• Place huge pictures of birds of prey on top of buildings but in a way that will confuse the birds. If the bird of prey never moves and never tries to kill them they will learn that it is of no threat to them.

TWR; Then that would be an epizeuxis :0)

You can call it what you like Khandro, but when you visit the likes of B.Pool & your family get dive bombed by a Turd, a cull comes to mind.

A turd? A turd would be luxury compared to what these little *** have to offer. Until you have had a seagull crap on your head you don't know what pain is. They must have satnav in their arrises. If Churchill had had the foresight to employ them instead of the RAF the war WOULD have been over by Christmas.

lol lol lol I like that Jack, good one.

EPIZEUXIS is a rhetorical term for the repetition of a word or phrase for emphasis, usually with no words in between.

A bit like Blair's "Education, education, education", then.

Khandro

Baldric; To be perfectly honest, I only learnt the word myself a few days ago and I've been itching for an opportunity to use it :0)
