My pal Matt had a sadly unprofitable business in the early '90s called 'Gnomophobia'.He produced custom-made gnomes to the customer's preference. Mostly Star Wars/Star Trek/Babylon 5 stuff. Fucking incredible, they were. But he only sold 'em for £25 each.
So unfortunately he learned that this was no way to make a living.
A pity really, cos I'd gladly give him £100 for one of his fekkin' wokkid Darth Vader gnomes today.

That's a good idea.He'll scoff at it - he's that kind of bloke - but yeah, I reckon it could be a going concern.
There's an almost limitless supply of gullible twats online, after all.
And the gnomes were really fucking good.
