"Large enough for the King to read without his spectacles"?

This house has three doors, and one of them is what would be, in other circumstances, probably considered the "front door".
However, in the almost nine years we have lived here, it has never been opened. {It is, in fact, not accessible from the inside...}
One would think that the leaves and such strewn on the step up to it and the fact that there is no pathway leading to it through a rather unkempt part of the lawn would be a clue.
Apparently not.
Some years ago, i made the sign visible in the first two photos above (you can guess at how many "some" is by how faded it is.)
However, in the last few months, we have had packages dropped there by both FedEx and UPS drivers.
Not only do we not use that door, we seldom go on that side of the house, so it was just luck both times that we spotted them.
Well, when it happened again on 1 November, i decided that enough is more than a gracious plenty, and i took the first two pictures above, printed them, and headed down to UPS to complain. If UPS, FedEx or the USPS does it again, i'll do the same for them.
I also decided that perhaps - just perhaps - the notice was faded enough for the drivers to have difficulty noticing.
Or perhaps it was too small.
So i made another.
