Interesting Facts

We have a saying in the UK, "Every man needs a shed", and according to a survey carried out by Big Yellow Self Storage, men in the UK spend an average of 24 days a year in their shed. (Psychologist Anjula Mutanda said: ‘It’s important for men to have a space where they can be alone and uninterrupted, tinker with their collections and indulge in hobbies.’  (Is that what you call it?) We only have a small garden, so poor hubby doesn't have a shed. He has a whole cellar though.)

According to research by the company, Big Yellow Self Storage, most people stash away garden equipment in their shed. (But some men, 7%, set up the shed with a snooker or pool table and 22% store musical instruments, 18% keep exercise equipment there, 17% use it to store bicycles and bike accessories, 13% set up a model railway, 10% have fishing gear,  and many stash comics, books and old gadgets away, and a massive 29% say the shed is where they keep their music collection. If I told hubby to store his music collection in a shed, it would be divorce time.)
