Royal Mail apologises for late deliveries after a string of seagull attacks on its postal workers in Liskeard.
Residents in a town in Cornwall have received a letter from Royal Mail apologising for late mail - explaining that its delivery workers were being hampered by dive-bombing seagulls.
Royal Mail said those living in the affected zone in Liskeard could choose to wait until the birds were not aggressively protecting their young, or nominate a new address.
One Liskeard resident described it as "deadly" to go outside when the birds were nesting.
I very much would be out there with a shotgun in that six week period. Not even with bird shot, just bean bags, that way there’s not any danger to humans, but those birds can get fucked.
