TessA, You didn’t mention this... did you?
I have a contact in the police who has told me you have received this ransom note.
Why have you kept quiet about it? ....ls Nigel’s life in jeopardy?

How very dare you Madam! That lady was merely walking my dogs past poor Mr. Biggun's garden for me at the time - ask Gertie if you don't believe it.

I happen to know that old lady well, and can assure you she was on her way to a Halloween Party when that photo was taken.
This a photo of her taken that very same morning, in her usual attire.

So you see, it cannot possible have been her stealing Nigel, as she would not have such bad thoughts.

However, I did hear on the news this very morning, that a rough looking, bearded character was stopped at Heathrow Airport this lunchtime, with a large Gnome under his arm. It set off the alarms apparently.
It has been suggested he was smuggling something sinister inside the Gnome.
(I still think his description fits our Judster).

At least you washing up will be done, and your hands will be soft.

Just dunk her into some Sterident Sweetie, it sterilizes most things
