It's good to see that us Brits have not lost our sense of proportion. Here's a story related from Keith Dickson's Newlyn Mission blog after his visit to Mevagissey yesterday.
"Just a quick story. The boat the Crimson Tide featured in the previous picture of Mevagissey Harbour was stopped form going to sea recently as a Seagull had built a nest on the cabin roof and laid eggs in it. English Natural Heritage and the RSPB both told the skipper he would have to wait till the chicks fledged before gong back to sea. It is nice to see that fishermen lively hood's are of secondary importance to our Seagulls well being."
Where else would the RSPCA(1824) have come into existence some 60 years before the NSPCC(1884)?
