Has anyone here NOT got a shed?
« on: January 22, 2013, 09:24:06 AM »
It's just something I was wondering about whilst lying in bed this morning.

So, has anyone here NOT got a shed? I'm thinking maybe Vulch...

Yes, you're correct, Peeps.

Do you miss not having one? I share one, but rarely use it.

A shed is quite big, so you can use it metaphorically to mean "loads".

That she'd shed sheds shed light on the diet.

Okay, as you were.

Actually, my flat is my shed - it's where I keep all my old junk that I've collected over the years.

Actually, when they do the traffic reports on Radio 2 they often say there's a shed load somewhere or other. I always want to know, "A shed load of what? Pomegranates?"

Mine has still to be erected in the new garden, after I have built a new roof (original is rotting after 11 years and no maintenance).  I will need to get a second one for the garden stuff as the original one is meant to be my workshop.

Sheds don't seem to appear much in Beau Peep, (or Horace strips come to think of it). This isn't a dig at Roger, and I appreciate that not everyone will have an interest in outbuildings per se, but they are noticeable by their absence.





Not even a potting shed.

I think it was revealed at some stage that Dennis carried a photo of a shed in his wallet. I have no idea why.

No shed, just a Wheelie Bin Cupboard.

With a collection every other week, don't spend too much time in there! :o

We have a little shed (5X7?) that the previous owners had made into a playhouse, we were just using it to shove garden junk into for years. A couple of summers ago we cleared it out – painted the walls and put green –grass carpet down and two hot pink garden chairs and made it into our “reading room” – it is a fun little place for my daughter and I to go read in the summer. It too will need the roof fixing one of these days, but we do have electricity in it so there is a light and a fan in the summer and a space heater in the spring/fall. Lovely little place, you feel like you’ve been on holidays sitting out there.

Your shed sounds like fun, Diane. I love the fact that it's got electricity.

I have two sheds.  One smells permanently of beer now though, ever since the really cold spell we had a few years ago, popped all the cans and bottles that I stored there.

All you could hear for weeks, was woodlice and earwigs singing "Auld Lang Syne". Mind you, it wasn't as funny as watching them trying to shake hands.
