RIGHTS FOR GNOMES!
One night, in my younger years, after a couple a group of us decided to go out for a late night walk. This was back in the days before late licencing and the streets were generally completely deserted after midnight and it was now about 2am.

We took with us, a large ball of blue tack, a pair of scissors, a pot of cocktail sticks, pens and a big stack of post-it notes.

We headed for an out of the way area called Roseland Park where people have nice gardens and all try hard to keep them that way. They are also a tasteless bunch who adorn there front lawns with many a garden ornament, Using all the ninja skills we had acquired in our GCSE ninja skills lesson earlier that week we snuck in to the first garden, picked up a garden gnome and placed it carefully on the doorstep and using our art skills that we had also acquired in the ninja skills lesson crafted a fine mini banner that read “I hate fishing!” We removed the wooden fishing rod and replaced it with the banner taking care to not cause any permanent damage to the gnome.

In the second garden the gnomes banners angrily protested the silly hats they had been forced to wear by their human overlords. We went house to house getting a little braver each time until we were going to houses with large numbers of gnomes in the garden and creating a protest march up the pathway. One house had two huge stone lions on the gate posts. We placed them outside the front door with a note that read “Can we come in please? It’s cold out here.” We went house to house in this close nit area and must have found about 20-30 gardens with gnomes ready to be moved.

We returned home when it started to get light and went to bed which meant we never got to see the faces of the confused homeowners that opened the doors in the morning to find their gnomes protesting but I like to think that they still talk about it 14 years later.

POIDH
Also, playing the prank and not bothering to assess the reaction is a bit of a waste.
