THE letter from Christopher Lewis about us two gnomes upsetting him is beyond belief ('Naughty gnomes are a blot on York', October 19).

The writer must be different to the majority of people who find us very comical, one woman laughed so much she asked if she could quickly use the shop toilets.

Like all minority groups we are always picked on. I suggest Mr Lewis has a go at someone his own size.

For the rest of the public, we take our hats off to you.

Fred and Percy (the gnome

brothers),
