Illiteracy or obstinacy?

Illiteracy or obstinacy?

The Tenovus charity shop on St Mark’s Road is currently closed for refurbishment.

However, this does not seem to have been noticed by the local members of the Hard of Thinking Club, who are continuing to dump their donations outside the shop’s door.

The operators/owners of the shop have recently decided to post a notice on the shop’s door shutter informing those generous but misguided patrons of the error of their ways.

Notice reads: If you dump stuff here you are fly-tipping. Please stop. Asked with love and season's greetings from the residents of St Marks.
Let’s ignore the writing on the wall.

Just like other notices in Bristol, e.g. the ones that say no parking, Tenovus’ sign has been ignored.

Is ignoring the notice due to illiteracy or plain, simple bloody-mindedness? Have your say in the comments.

Meanwhile, if you see fly-tipping, any other environmental crime or something that needs fixing, you can report it to Bristol City Council here, otherwise central government’s GOV.UK site has a handy page to find your local authority in England, Scotland and Wales and notify it of such problems.
