    Default I thought I'd heard it all....

    Police have taken a dim view of a man's glowing garden gnome and threatened him with arrest unless he removes it.
    and

    Now police have served Mr MacKillop with a notice for "placing a garden gnome with intent to cause harassment".

    I'm lost for words....too busy crying with laughter....
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    I'm glad the British police have focused on the root cause of crime over there: misplaced and annoying garden gnomes.
