Black Flies on holiday to Yorkshire

I just came back from filey on holiday, was great, but one day there were these little black flies, they were * terrible, everywhere, we had to come in and close all windows and stay in all day, everywhere you went you could see people shaking them out of hair and off clothes, it was horrible, my daughter was crying, it was like a horror film, loads of huns as well which was nearly as bad, anyway, apparently they are called thunder flies or corn flies, but they were terrible, i read on the net that they can get behind your LCD screens and into your phones etc,(the flies, not the huns) anyone else experienced them?

 

the flies are huns in disguise

 

corn flies? harmless little things

 

i remember in ayr a few years ago, we were walking down the road and these black flies started attacking everyone. It ended up in the paper

 

I thought is was 'crabs' that you would have caught at Filey- not flies!! LOL!
