Post 20,000, obviously it had to be an important one so here we go...

Do you have a gnome in the garden?

 

If so what's it doing? Fishing? Standing? Keeping watch over treasure? Something else?

 

Do they ever move? Do you talk to them?

 

:respekt: Awe...... err well done Michael. Top job. :)

Strange but true:

 

In 1981, on holiday in Ilfracombe, a friend and I (both aged 18) stole a garden gnome. I must have been looking suspicious, because I got stopped by the police on the way back to the caravan. My claims that I had bought the gnome earlier from a garden centre came unstuck because (a) it had a highly weathered appearance, as if it had been in situ for some years and (b) a clod of earth fell off the bottom of it.

 

I was taken to Barnstaple police station, banged up for the night, then charged the following day with Joint Theft. Fine £5, £3 costs.

 

Some may call that overzealous policing, but I say that it turned me away from a life of crime. Let's not forget that Jeffrey Dahmer started off with stealing gnomes (OK, I made that last bit up).
