They are also thieves, at least when discussing the Central store in Wyke Regis, Dorset, England. The store has recorded losses from theft for at least six years. They attribute the thievery to a specific bird they have named “Steven Seagull.” When patrons leave the shop door open, the seagull wanders in and helps itself to bags of crisps (chips). </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><iframe height="314" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbbcbreakfast%2Fvideos%2F1177027086939741%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="100%"></iframe><p> The manager of the small Lyndale convenience store, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv2gzj693pxo" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> Stuart Harmer </a> , states that Steven Seagull has stolen at least <a href="https://abc6onyourside.com/news/offbeat/seabird-seagull-corner-store-stole-banned-from-corner-store-after-6-years-of-thievery-steven-seagal-dorset-england-theft-robbery-burglary-chips-convenience-gas-station" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> 30 packages of chips </a> just in the past two months.

There's an undeniable magic to a delicious bite of sushi. Whether it's the meaty delight of fresh tuna, or the melt-in-your-mouth nature of fatty salmon, raw fish impresses. Yet, especially for newcomers, it can be hard to shake the fear of sampling the food without cooking. After all, the idea of a parasite in the flesh — with its off-putting worm-like form — is enough to function as a deterrent. Thankfully, no need to worry; there are precautions in place. You've likely seen the sushi-grade label at the store, a sign it's not a complete gamble regarding what's good to eat.
