National Shed week coming soon !

And the opportunity to vote for Shed of the year is available here. ( I haven't entered so no conflict of interest here ).

In short every man wants a shed, even if he doesn't know it. Being married with kids helps you realise the wisdom of such a facility.

Also National Shed week is on the horizon - 7th July ! Ok this has some elements of marketing technique about it, but you wanted one anyway !

To the purveyors of Sheds can I suggest you best strategy is to get the likes of "Good Housekeeping" to run an article explaining how much marriages are better and women happier when their husband owns a shed. I often check the contents page of Good House Keeping to discover what I'm going to be facing over the next month or so - and I bet I'm not the only man who does it.

Or transpose to some sort of "its his Cave" in the men are from Mars, women are from Venus type of thing.

How about the slogans "I wish my man had a shed", or "real men have sheds" ?
