Listening to the radio you hear some funny old things that people get their knickers in a twist about, things that some of us wouldn’t even give a moment’s thought to.

There was something however I heard the other day that I feel I must vent a little bit of spleen about, as having spent many a family holiday vacationing at various Costa del Kent beaches it really winds me up when I hear people whingeing on about it .

The subject getting people in a flap was that of the wildlife native to such areas and what a nuisance they can be.

 You’ve probably seen those complaining on sandy shores you’ve visited  this summer chasing and shooing away the feathered menaces like they don’t belong there.

However surely the clue is in the name in working out who has more indigenous rights to inhabit the space surrounding them and deserve a little respect from those who choose to invade it.

They’re called SEAgulls for a reason, if you don’t like them the solution is simple, maybe you should just try visiting somewhere a little less SEAside-y.
