A new series of Ladybird books has been announced, including a book called "The Shed and The Wife"

I think it may take pride of place next to GHT's "The Model Engineer's Workshop Manual", something every young man should read, I suspect.

I see two separate books, one called 'The Shed' and another titled 'The Wife'.

You will need to reserve two shelf spaces!

Just goes to show the state of literacy in this country if adults need Ladybird books to learn to read!

I heard recently that the sales of sheds to women were on the increase, oh well I guess there is room for another one in our garden!

Wireless intercom systems are pretty good these days and the household duties get shared anyway.

I wonder what the book will say about that lot!
