Nick Rapps believes the sick message left in an A-board was linked to a protest in nearby Bristol earlier in the day.

Mr Rapps said he was smiling when the photo was taken because, “if they upset me and I get cross then they’ve won”.

“I’m aware there’s a subculture of vegan protesters but nobody deserves to have signs like that outside their shop.”
