I…don’t understand. Was the gnome stolen?
Is it illegal to carry a gnome there?
Walk by the side of a highway? Both?

First they came for the gnomes, and I did not speak out…

The M60 is a motorway - sort of like a US Interstate, I suppose - and yeah, it’s illegal to walk along them unless it’s an emergency.

I’m disappointed to learn that “carrying a gnome” is not a euphemism I haven’t heard of. However I now consider it my mission to make it one.

I can’t carry on like this. I’m going gnome.

I hear the food on motorways is the worst in the world too.

YES! It’s been ages since we’ve heard from the GGFDL. Why now? Maybe they’ve been plotting for one last stand?

You’re only allowed to transport them by Underground.
They’re metro-gnomes.

Are you sure it wasn’t a motor-gnome?

This is a clear example of elfin safety overreach.

Indeed. Odd that the police would bother with this while there are so many other matters vying for their attention that positively dwarf this one.

That’s an obvious terrorist weapon of mass gnomification.
