UK experiences garden gnome shortage due to Suez canal blockage and lockdown



The UK is experiencing an nationwide shortage of garden gnomes, with the Suez canal blockage and the coronavirus lockdown to blame.

The Ever Given, a skyscraper-sized container ship that carries cargo between Asia and Europe, became stuck in the narrow man-made canal last month.

One unlikely victim of the backlog is the humble garden gnome, with garden centres running out of the lawn ornaments

Interesting news, not a shortage of hospital gowns or diapers/nappies or nutritious food, but garden gnomes!
