Gulls Lane
Outside wall of the yard outside the Trago Mills warehouse, Hulls Lane, Falmouth, yesterday.In case you can't read the last word, it says "Get your seagulls in ure." I think 'ure' is local dialect for 'here', but I'm only half-Cornish, so that might be only half right...
UPDATE: Yep, seems I might well have been wrong. My fully-Cornish father, in fully-Cornish fashion, thinks Devon is probably to blame.

I think it means "Get your seagulls in your", but that might be horribly wrong.
Or maybe blokey out of Ultravox is in for a nasty shock...
Didn't even know he'd moved to Cornwall.
[CNLA is this, by the way]
On second thoughts, he's probably safe from the CNLA, what with being a fellow Celt...

Here
Yer (as in yerself; or your)
Dunno.
Ooh, that could be UAE - United Arab Emirates, not URE...
Er, anyway, enough comments from me. Anyone else got any idea?
Perhaps there are some letters missing, and it's meant to say 'get your seagulls insured'.
Insured against what, though? Exploding binbags? Prosecution by the council? Falling fish stocks?
Insured...?
Hmm...
Ah, of course - 'Get your seagulls injured'! On that glass stuck in the top of the wall.
Mystery solved :)
Er, except I saw the exact same stencil somewhere else, a while back. That one got painted over before I got around to photographing it, though.
