2:1 if you must ..that should be more or less frost proof, and will
pockmark nicely with the odd Purdey blast from passing drug dealers.

Thank you. Soft sand or sharp? ;-)

Plenty of gunfire to be heard round our way, but it's usually directed
at the Defenceless Rabbit.

Eddie Grundy may be along around 19:00 and he has vast experience
casting gnomes

Failing that, ISTR the BBC recommended a mix of hard fat and chopped
nuts warmed gently and poured into garden gnome moulds as a way of
populating a bird table )

Richard,

After reading the humorous responses to your post - and having imbibed a few
glass strong bourbon, I thought that I would dig up and post this link for
you referring the place in Cornwall where many gnomes are 'born and sold
into garden slavery' so that you could, if you wish, ask their advice on the
correct mix of the potion you require.

http://www.gnome-world.co.uk/

All omissions and errors can be blamed on the bourbon and not me m'lud - as
after having the grandchildren for the day, I needed some severe medication
for stress relief! LOL

I was looking forward to a morning's happy browsing, rather than
working. What a crap website.

They're probably all plastic anyway. Can't be doing with plastic
gnomes.
