The way it's going, you could be fined, (I think), and a lot of people are against feeding them anyway, but the most likely offender is going to be a tourist, part of their holiday!...with the usual result, are they going to come back? Below is an extract from the piece you found ..

“I just burst into tears because I was totally embarrassed, humiliated and completely bewildered as to how I could have been accused of something I did not do.”
Miss Graham was in the town with 30 fellow students from the University of Glasgow, and said her ordeal “ruined” her visit to Wales.
She added: “The implication that I would visit Wales and behave in this disrespectful manner has completely ruined my visit and I can’t say I’d be in a hurry to recommend Conwy as a place to visit if things like this can happen to you there.”

After she sent a detailed appeal to Conwy Council, the authority withdrew the fine and apologised.

A spokesperson said: “If someone disagrees that they have committed an offence or feel that it was unreasonable for us, or someone authorised by us, to issue them with a Fixed Penalty Notice then we ask that they send an appeal in writing to Regulatory Services.

So is that 31 tourists not coming back?

You can get fined in Glasgow for dropping fag ends so she won't be any safer when she gets home.

"Facts and Figures - Year 2010 / to date

    6,580 Fixed Penalty Notices issued:
    345 for litter
    5,714 for cigarettes
    83 for domestic refuse/litter (flytipping)
    438 for dog fouling"

Hi FA. Can't argue with the figures, same all over now, but it still comes back to how they do it,.... the easy pickings ....stealth approach,

Quote from Fester...The Officers on the YouTube clip in Liverpool, looked very official and were clearly marked with Environmental Enforecement logos on the uniforms.   If I was approached by them, I would realise I was in the presence of officialdom, they were filming all incidents and I would simply say 'fair cop' .....

Our lot still need to be seen....

So if a seagull swoops down and knocks food from your hand, you will probably get fined for littering!
The sign in the pic also seems to say 'no bags of chips'  :laugh:

We're going to Blackpool tomorrow until Sunday so for the first time ever we'll have to miss Mr Murray's visit to VC  :(.  Hopefully next time he'll remember to consult with us first before finalising his tour dates.

There is some good news though with Conwy now number two for clean streets in Wales – making it the least messy county in the region.

  Forum night out? Well count me out for one. I don't know if I live on a different planet but I've never even heard of the Guvnor never mind knowing who he is and paying to watch/listen to him
