And Finally... Naked gnomes cause a kerfuffle
A woman who claims a council official ordered her to cover up her naked garden gnomes following complaints from a neighbour spoke today of her anger.
Gnome collector Sandra Smith said she was told to put clothes on three of her favourite ornaments because they were deemed offensive.
The 64-year-old initially hid their modesty with T-shirts and cowboy hats but later removed the clothing following advice from a local police officer.
The grandmother, from Hunnington, Halesowen, West Midlands, said: "I had a telephone call from an officer from Bromsgrove District Council who said could I please cover them up because they were offensive to my neighbour."
A spokesman for Bromsgrove District Council said the authority had no record of any "gnome-related incidents".
