gnomes are great, i like mine, though I wish they'd do spare battery packs
for them as the battery packs are combined cells which tend to die after
some time, and do not have the life of say a lythiam ion battery.

Hi Martin

Isn't the little Gnome fabulous?  I've got an orange one, and he doesn't

We changed the frequency because they interfered with Ian's cordless
headphones.  I wouldn't like to be without it.
