I'm sure there must now be training sessions available for domestic animals with nudging tendencies. You'd have to catch them early, though, because I've heard (and this may not be true, of course) that you can't teach an old nudger new tricks. Be careful. In certain areas Animal nudging is still an offence under the Town and Police Clauses Act 1847. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they have, they're not likely to last that long now that their presence has been advertised. C. No. D. Just round the corner. Surely you knew that?

If stuck for ideas, any self respecting purple garden gnomes could refer to that bible of Italian sink plunger cuisine, Antgnomio Carluccio and Gegnomo Contaldo's recipe book Two Hungry Gnomes. Lots of ideas therein. Rob. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which spell-checker you use, but I certainly haven't previously come across one that interprets n-u-d-g-e as plunger. Or is that just the product of some sinck persons humour? I think, nonetheless, that the answer to your question can be found quite easily if you do a little gnomework. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
