Who does this remind you of ?

Post by whitnash claret » Sat Apr 25, 2020 12:53 pm

During lock down - to pass an hour or so away - I decided to smarten up a few garden "accessories". Eventually I got to this character and immediately he seemed to wink at me making me think of a certain Mr ......? Quite an obvious striking resemblance I think - but I wondered if others had gnomes (or similar) that resemble celebs, (football or otherwise). UTC and good luck to Dwight in this afternoon's semi.

99% of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd, but that's definitely 'Arry.

For the older reader, stick a pipe in the mouth and you have Harold Wilson

Though, we also know that Wilson only put a pipe in his mouth to create his political image. He wasn't a pipe smoker in private.

So, maybe the garden gnome is Harold Wilson, before he became a politician.

Not Charles Laughton. Looks too stupid to be him.

Some great shouts - I think it most looks like 'Arry' to me - hence mention of the wink but I can see it could also be any of the others mentioned. I did think of giving another clue of Roly Poly Pudd'n - but that would also apply to Garth Crooks !! Michael Gove was a good call but I think it's got more personality and looks a bit more savvy than him.
