It obviously contravenes Elf and Safety regs.

I believe Fairies having been causing problems in various woodlands for sometime now!

[paddywak]

It looks like a typical case of travelling gnomes moving onto a site without permission and causing trouble for the estabished families.
I rather like the idea of having a couple of families of the little people living nearby I might see about encouraging them to move into the local woods

Once they get a foot in the door there'll be no stopping them.

Up the airy mountains
Down the rushy Glen,
We dare not go a-hunting
For fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk
Trooping all together;
Green jacket, red cap,
And a white owl's feather.

Just leave our fairies alone......if they are driven out of woodlands into our towns and cities you'll be complaining about tripping over them... being kept awake by their night time activities....your lovers being turned into frogs..... while you sleep your babies will be exchanged for gnomes......you'll all develop allergies to fairy dust, and that dust gets everywhere...it itches......☻

We have a fairy woodland near our place in Ireland.....it's lovely to take children on a day out finding the fairy houses.....x

They need to cull them like badgers.

[Hypognosis]

ludwig!!!

Actually, that made I laff, so I think it should be me on the naughty step.

[Zacs-Master]

Anyone know if UKIP have a policy for this?

[gailforce]

No, leave them alone --- there's no place like gnome

[janbee]

Gnomes have a place in this world. They can be used to fill potholes.

// Anyone know if UKIP have a policy for this? //

Yes, they want a points based system for foreign fairies wanting to migrate to Britain. They will require two points - one on each ear.

[gness]

That's as maybe, Jan.....but if you're not careful how you place the gnomes we cyclists can find our front wheels parked unexpectedly..... :-(

Litter and Graffiti.

I saw this earlier today TTT. I don't know about you but I think they look rather cute ! Anyway, what harm can they be doing ? Ruddy busybodies !

[mikey4444]

My grandmother had fairies at the bottom of her garden, when I was growing up as a boy in the 1960. Mind you, she did live on the edge of Hampstead Heath, so nobody was terribly surprised !

[Jackdaw33]

Don't let Peter Tatchell hear you say that, Mikey.

[237SJ]

Mickey - was it George Michael?

[mikey4444]

Before he was born 237SJ !

[SirOracle]

There are fairies at the bottoms of our guardsmen.

Gnomes and fairies are clean different things. If there were no gnomes there'd be no AB.
