BEMUSED bathroom supplier bosses were taken aback after a pair of pensioner fly-tippers dumped items at their premises.

Alan Mortimer, who owns Ware With All, discovered a clothes dryer and card table lying at the front door on Wednesday morning.

The businessman, who runs the company with his wife Elizabeth, was furious at first then bewildered when he viewed the culprits caught on CCTV.

He told the Telegraph: “When I came down that morning and I saw all the stuff dumped at the front door, I was angry because I hate the idea of dumping rubbish.

“We played back the footage until 7pm on Tuesday and I fully expected a white van or a car. But it was a well-dressed elderly lady with a clothes dryer – she put it down then went out of camera shot then came back with a card table.

“Then you see her with a male partner and the two of them walk off with a shopping bag on wheels. It’s totally bizarre  – we’re bemused. 

“These are the type of people who would complain about fly-tipping.”

Alan, 55, only moved to his new showroom in Clarence Street in

November but has traded in the town at Fort Matilda and Cappielow Industrial Estate for a total of 15 years.

Alan said: “I’ve never been fly-tipped before.

“I had to play the film back twice because I couldn’t believe it.”

Alan says he wants to give the couple the benefit of the doubt. 

He said: “There used to be a recycling bottle bank on the corner across from the Ocean Terminal but that closed a year ago.

“Maybe they thought it was still there and when they couldn’t find it they just left it here because they didn’t want to take the items back with them.”
