refurbishing the frogs

In the 'Aldi' posting, 
"a couple of cans of spray paint for refurbishing the frogs in the garden: one is playing a saxophone, the other a violin." 
may have left one or two wondering.

Some people have garden gnomes; others don't.     
Google "garden gnomes" and see what you get!

These can be bought on Amazon's USA website for $17.95

I don't wish to upset Norm in Georgia, but these are ads from 'over there'.

Here's a picture of a stripper gnome for sale on Amazon in the U.S.A.

On the internet you may read: "these classic ornaments originated in Germany during the 1800s, but now can be spotted on almost every rural block in America". 

In England we are more concerned with the prevention of cruelty to gnomes as evidenced by this newspaper article:
Dozens of Britons have lodged complaints against a TV spot from IKEA that shows vengeful garden gnomes being murdered en masse.

We don't mind joining in with the U.S.A. and France to fire a few missiles to the middle east as long as it's only people who get hit. God forbid that friendly fire should hit a gnome!
    
We prefer frogs, especially musical ones.

We haven't had any complaints about the noise yet, neither from the neighbours, nor from their gnomes!
