I read once in a survival book that if you throw small stones wrapped in bread to sea gulls they will eat them and not be able to fly from the extra weight.
Deciding a heavy sea gull would make an excellent addition to my home I immediately rushed off to try this theory.
I don't think the downed American pilots (who this survival tip was aimed at) would cope if they had to answer to UK sea gulls.
They watched the speed at which the bread fell to earth and would only eat normal bread.
They could even spot small amounts of gravel hidden in the bread parcels.
Makes you kinda proud that our UK sea gulls are cleverer than US top brass
