I do not like seagulls; they are dirty, greedy and noisy.

The other day there were two seagulls in our garden outside my window shouting at each other and making a terrible noise.

I thought I cannot stand this, so I went out into the garden and walked right up to the seagulls.

They did not take any notice of me; they just went on shouting.

So, I said in a very loud voice “Shut up,” and they shut up and I never heard another sound.

It was amazing.
