Seagulls around England's coastal towns are reported to be mob-mugging holidaymakers for their fish and chips (fries) lunches. The problem's getting particularly bad in the boho seaside town of Brighton, where the owner of a shellfish and oyster bar has even posted a sign warning that seagulls will steal customers' food and he won't be held responsible.
The technique is for a single bird to swoop and startle an unsuspecting person into dropping their food, then a waiting mob descends and grabs it. In the southwest - where pasties are the chosen fare - three small dogs have even been attacked and killed. Prime Minister David Cameron has said 'a big conversation needs to happen', though it's not certain if he meant with the seagulls or the beachgoers.
Crowded Brighton Beach can often look like a trash can at the end of a sunny summer day, sadly, so maybe it's not surprising the birds are flocking in to feast on the waste people have left behind.
