A gentle word of warning to drivers when parking at Asda, Hollingbury, Brighton.

We returned to our car to find a squadron of seagulls/pigeons/jackdaws had had an attack of irritable bowel syndrome.

Obviously the birds had over-indulged on the very juicy blackberries that lurked in the hedgerows on the nearby downs.

Our car, along with two others parked below a huge floodlight, was smothered in dark pink, pippy splashes.
