I don't know about picking blackberries but the other two rules seem sensible. I think it should be two dogs not four. People around here who have more than two dogs when walking find it hard to control them. Sometime back a woman with three dogs was pulled down onto the road and the dogs ran off.

Of course some seagulls don't need criminal accomplices in their lives of crime

Seagulls appear to be getting more vicious these days, and have been known to attack people in order to steal their food if they are eating outdoors at the seaside.

that's it for the Broadchurch plot then, death by seagull as part of a protection racket.

But I still don't know what is meant by Broadchurch Plot, not a term I have heard before.

That's fine as long as you understand that they are ,more than any other bird, the embodiment of the spirit of the velociraptor.  I've watched seagulls versus pigeons and it is not for the squeamish.

That's what was said but people are clamouring for another series. In a way it's a good idea to end a series when it's at the top, which is what the producers did. I thought it was an excellent series. Can't believe you didn't see it floo! Nothing 'lowbrow' about it. Set in Dorset.

Rhiannon I like seagulls too they seem intelligent and full of character but they can be vicious. I learned that many years ago whilst eating on the beach!.
Velociraptors aye? So they will be able to undo picnic baskets.

It doesn't matter how much you clamour, if the production team is not up for it, it won't happen.

I'm not clamouring & get why they don't want to do another series. Only so much can happen in one smallish place & it's not a soap where murders are commonplace. Very good though, had me on the edge of my seat 'til the end.

Very true (not one I've watched but know about it), and Oxford is certainly somewhere to avoid if you want to live!

How do you know you have no interest in the rest? I mean if you haven't seen them or heard about them how can you even make a judgment?

We know what we like, mostly the news and documentaries. We watch very little TV, having better things to do with our time.
