A council has found itself in a sticky situation after vandals targeted an anti-littering poster - and made a rude letter swap.
Keen to encourage people to throw away their gum, Exeter City Council displayed the sign on a bin as part of a wider campaign. But the plan 'backfired' after it was spotted by a troublemaker, who noticed 'gum' is just one letter away from 'c**."
They then proceeded to blank out part of the 'g', changing the sign that read 'In Exeter we bin our gum', to something much more unsavoury.
