What does this say about the locals?

I was in town (Weston-super-Mare, England) earlier today and noticed 
this sign on the glass door of one of the shops:

"This door is shut.  Please do not walk into it.  Thank you for your 
cooperation."

I can understand needing a sign or marker on the door for the 
visually impaired or downright stupid, but what amazes me is that 
the customers are *thanked* for not walking into the door.  Either 
the shop owner has a deliciously dry sense of humour or the locals 
are more inbred than I first realised.
