After a relaxing walk, he stumbled across the garden center and headed to the café for a bite, SWNS noted.
He said, 'I was shocked to be greeted by a sign telling me I could be asked to leave if I consumed my own food or drink. as I approached the café to buy myself a slice of cake, I noticed a lot more signs with different rules and regulations.' He added, 'I thought it seemed massively over the top, but I saw the funny side. I bought a cake and a hot chocolate and sat down outside, where I counted all the signs.
He said, 'The signs are things like, ‘Please keep your dogs on a lead.’ Just this morning, a guy running around with his dog not on a lead and a tripped over and banged his head.'
