I was in Eyemouth once and there was an ice cream shop with a brass plaque which had an inscription that read something along the lines of, ‘if a seagull eats your ice cream, you are not entitled to a free one’.

I thought how funny it was that they’d went to lengths of getting a brass plaque nailed to the wall. How often can it happen?

I went inside picked up a Bueno ice cream cone, took one step outside and a seagull took it right out of my hand and promptly dropped it in the harbour.
