"Fly Tipping" is the practice of dumping your trash in an area where you are not authorized to do so. (Like in someone elses dumpster....)




Clamping is similar to towing a car away. (i.e. Tow Away Zone)







I think franked mail is like metered mail. The only reason I know this is that the other mailbox said "Stamped Mail".







"Fiddly, but worth it." I think this means something like "It's quite a bother..but worth it."










I have no idea about this one...








This one isn't puzzling...just amusing. Let's see the Mayors office in Dallas put out a campaign like this!
