We often get them on the school field next door, they are beautiful if not sometimes noisy birds.

Mizuna Wed 28-Aug-24 19:02:34

I live a few feet from them, as every year they nest right by my kitchen window and I wear ear defenders all summer. 😆

RosiesMaw2 Wed 28-Aug-24 19:04:21

SWR?
Wes?

Skydancer Wed 28-Aug-24 19:04:29

Does the OP mean South Western Railway?

RosiesMaw2 Wed 28-Aug-24 20:24:30

I can think of some railway passengers who should have their beaks glued shut!

I live in a seaside town. Seagulls are the sound of home to me.

Whingey Thu 29-Aug-24 05:58:46

Yes south western railway. Ads on TV and radio. Wes says could say I'm wetting my beak and sandy says oh Wes

BlueBelle Thu 29-Aug-24 06:53:23

As many on here know I m a great seagull lover no idea what Whingey is whinging about

Wes says could say I'm wetting my beak and sandy says oh Wes what the heck is this and what’s it about I don’t understand a word of your thread Whingey

The seagulls nest on my chimney and I bring the babies (that get abandoned up) they are only here nesting for a few months then (as now) they fly off to the Atlantic to migrate away from our winters They are fine, majestic very intelligent birds unlike some humans

Me neither.
Who is Wes?
Who, is Sandy?
Whose beak?
Why?

We were in the garden just yesterday and we both heard gulls.........we live 80 miles from the sea confused

Aldom Thu 29-Aug-24 07:19:05

Why not just look it up as I have done?
Whingey is talking about the advert on TV for South Western Railway.
The ad features two cartoon like birds (seagulls). If you watch the ad on YouTube then you'll understand the humour of the OP.

Georgesgran Thu 29-Aug-24 07:22:13

Yes - you got in before me Aldom

It’s an Advertising Campaign for SWRailways back in 2922.

Georgesgran Thu 29-Aug-24 07:23:46

Wesley Peck.
Sandy C Gull.

karmalady Thu 29-Aug-24 07:28:08

They get diarrhea when they fly over my car, a lot of it. Some person on their flight path feeds them

escaped Thu 29-Aug-24 07:35:07

Hilarious references to migration and one's perch.
You forget what product they're actually advertising.

BlueBelle Thu 29-Aug-24 07:44:57

aldom we shouldn’t need to look it up. If it’s so obscure surely the original poster needs to make clear what they are having a moan about
So Georgesgran if it was an advertising campaign in 2922
(presume you mean2022 🤣) why is it worrying Whingey now or is it an ongoing advert !

So the original post is not about seagulls or dislike of them just about an annoying advert Got it now

Wheniwasyourage Thu 29-Aug-24 09:45:57

Why shouldn't we have to look it up? Some of us live a long way from SW Railways. A few light-hearted threads are a nice change from the grumping that goes on sometimes!

escaped Thu 29-Aug-24 09:51:13

Wes isn't a seagull, he's a pigeon from Peckham.

Sandy is a gull.

Not sure if any of you have recently seen the news/ vdeos of seagulls above the tip in Lancashire, there are 1,000s flying over the houses dropping rotting food in the gardens over cars and doing what seagulls do out if their rear end🙄 app it is because the waste people are coming in from out of town dumping their waste . It truly is like a scene from “ The birds”

RosiesMaw2 Thu 29-Aug-24 10:43:59

Perhaps a link to the ads (YouTube) or at least some context.
I find it hard to get worked up over tv ads from 2 years ago though ( often the old ones are the best ones anyway- remember Maureen Lipman and an “ology” ?)

I live in a seaside town. Seagulls are the sound of home to me.

Yes, I feel the same way.

veejay Thu 29-Aug-24 13:53:44

I live near the seaside and I love to hear the gulls.they come into my garden and I feed them,as do lots of people
We the people are the reason they don't have enough natural food.
Seaside isn't seaside without seagulls
