Hold On To Your Ice Cream, Mr President!

WORLD leaders are being warned to watch the birdies when they visit the UK’s gull attack capital.

Cornwall’s Carbis Bay will host the G7 summit, attended by US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

But the June meeting is in an area notorious for gull attacks – and some have caused serious harm when stealing food and protecting chicks.

One review of the bay, near St Ives, warned: “The seagulls remind me of the film ‘The Birds’ as they literally stole ice cream from my cornet.”
