West Cornwall Travelog - the one thing you shouldn't do in St Ives is eat anything on the street, or on the beach, or anywhere in the open. The seagulls will swoop down and steal it from you.

Of course, they do this in other places too. But for some reason they seem to be really bad in St Ives, real chancers. Once I saw a gull swoop down and grab a whole pasty from the hand of a man who was just about to put the pasty in his mouth. He was sitting on the harbour edge and the surprise of the attack nearly toppled him into the sea.

So eat indoors.
