Well the pavilion is out for a start, and I have reservations about
multi-level sheds. (Lateral extensions are fine.) It sounds a bit too
grand, which is one of the reasons the pavilion is not acceptable.
The answer to this will obviously lie in the lack of quality in
construction and materials.  (See faqette.)

Look, I think Mr Brooks is right.  Shediness, though possibly
genetically handed down, cannot be aquired by association or
inheritance, be it family or no.

btw, anybody see that so-called shed in the recent 'Gardening from Scratch' 
series?  It had a veranda!  A bungalow, I'd call it.  AND they managed to 
move it without it falling down: now what kind of a shed is that?  Pull the 
other one!

What I would like to know is whether there is a farm in the UK which breeds
those giant, black, hairy spiders which spin huge webs thick enough to use as
a trampoline. Everyone I know with a shed had these, including my father, whose
shed has an old, cast iron sign threatening to fine trespassers 2 pounds.

There is apparently some sort of shed article in the March issue of 
Loaded magazine. Haven't read it (the magazine - if I had the shed article 
would obbviously have been my top priority) but if I do I will let you 
know if it's worthwhile.

Some people can tell what time it is by looking at the sun, but I have 
never been able to make out the numbers.
