In central Bognor, some salesmen stock garden ornaments (6)
I believe the answer is:
gnomes
'garden ornaments' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in central bognor some salesmen stock' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'central' indicates the central letters.
'some' says to take the initial letters.
'stock' becomes 'ome' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The central letters of 'bognor' are 'gn'.
The initial letter of 'salesmen' is 's'.
'gn'+'s'='gns'
'gns' placed around 'ome' is 'GNOMES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gnomes that I've seen before include "Legendary little figures, in the garden perhaps" , "Ornamental garden dwarfs" , "Legendary dwarfs" , "Zurich goblins" , "Ornamental garden figures" .)
