    There should be a colon after ‘bastard’.

    It’s railway land behind the gate, they never cut the grass.

    I like how the zip ties are lined up with the word Pikey. Not happy with the lowercase “i” used with captials 🙁

    One for the copyrighters I think 🙂

    Should have gone with raw and a clearcoat on the gate, looks much better than galvanized .

    Inability to space ‘stop your flytipping’ properly across the full width of the available cardboard…
    The whole block of copy should be justified left

    Tut…

    Love the fact it took them two attempts to spell ‘you’re’ correctly.

    Needs to sort out the kerning, and he should have centred it on the sheet.

    Full stop after being

    I also don’t like the “Bastard” being on a new line. Assuming the ridiculous spacing, it should read.

    STOPY YOUR FLY TIPPING.
    YOU’RE BEING WATCHED.
    YOU’RE A FILTHY SHIT!

    CAPS = poor show, even when ranting and the font’s unimaginative

    The holes, while lining up with “pikey”, are offset and causing a dreadful misalignment with the gate (unless a cleverly set-up correction for a poorly hung gate, of course)

    I also think “jibber-jabber” would work better than “flytipping” here

    I’d have said “Shite” instead of “Shit”

    I also think Pikey is too kind.

    Funny would be the flytipper being the pedant, in a Life of Brian, Romans go home, kind of way

    WTF are ‘captials’? You need talk, you can’t even **** spel!

    Not ‘zip ties’, it’s ‘cable ties’ this side of the Atlantic.

    I missed that one 🙂

    @spursn17

    Always been zip ties for me, never cable ties. I’m a MS bitch 🙁

    So who is going to formulate the correct definitive version of the above sign? Who is brave enough 😉

    Could this defeat STW ?

    Grass needs cut.

    Grass needs cut what, exactly?

    I believe you meant to say, “The grass needs to be cut.”

    Such laxity of grammatical correctness in a moderator is shameful.

    FTFY.

    This I fully endorse, but it would also require amending “stop” to “quit” for complete linguistic compliance.
