Noisy feckers at the moment aren't they? Seem to carry on all night, must be frisky.

Seaweed! Seaweed!
stop feeding them chips
Probably nattering about that Harris Hawk that chases them away from The AMEX. I think it's really brill, but...the gulls probably don't
Are they using a hawk for the seagulls at the Amex? I watched some program a while back about MK using this method. The hawk even got a kill.

I think he's more used to clear pigeons from the Amex as they gather under the roofs and cause the most problems.
Yeah, it looks great - apparently a few grounds use them.
I imagine the owner lets it get on with what hawks do, chase down and kill. Strange to think of birds eating birds, but loads of the species are meat eaters, including smaller birds like the Shrike, Magpie and Crow.
I wouldn't want to live with the things.
They shred dustbin liner bags and pull out the contents - seen streets strewn with rubbish by seagulls

What, legally, can one do about seagulls? I understand that while most people think they're more of a pest than rats, they're actually protected. I've dealt with a couple with a stone or to but while our house and our neighbours have all the netting and stuff, some people down the road don't, and the dirty winged bstards are getting aggressive this time of year. Ideas?

If they have had their young, (always 3 chicks by the way), theres nothing you can do until they can fly. After that then you can have the nest removed and netting put up to stop future nestings.
I left it too late and now have the noisy *******s on my roof. My cat has taken early retirement and won't go out now. Reckon I have to wait another 3 or 4 weeks till babies fly off.

For sure, they make a lot of noise, especially at this time of the year – with the din augmented currently by the perpetual whistling of hundreds of new fledglings.
Huge flocks of gulls screech through the night down here at the Marina. But for me, it's all part of the Brighton seascape. So, despite the understandable annoyance caused to many, I actually find it quite relaxing.
