Carry a camera. I have found this is the best deterrant.
I spent ages trying to get good seagull pics - they are extraordinary feathered acrobats. But bring a camera out and they all disappear!
Mum worried about me putting bread out for them, or throwing it into the air, trying to get a good photo. She thought they might snatch me bald-headed in their feeding frenzy. Nope. Now I realise I should have had ice cream.
Also, please don't mention Cornwall.
All we heard on the weather forecasts all last week was "The best of the weather is in the West..." Argh! When we went camping in Cornwall (okay, it was about 1979) the winds were so fierce it blew our neighbour's tent away. They had to cancel a yacht race because too many boats crashed. We booked for two weeks and came home after five days (and we were hardy souls).
Bloody Cornwall.
We went to Devon the year after.
