...Apparently.
No, I'm not a fan of the Rugby Union Football club hailing from the City of Glouceter in Gloucestershire to whose fans this epithet is generally applied owing to the shed like structure from which they observe their team's performances.
I've actually become one of a growing legion of British homeowners who have erected within the confines of their property a small, wooden, ship lap construction replete with felt covered Alpine style roof and a wonderful bouquet of Cuprinol.
Now, the difference between a shedhead and a regular garden shed owner is the relationship in place between owner and shed. The shed of a regular shed owner will be a dumping ground for various rarely used garden implements, old tins of paint and pornographic literarure. A shedhead, on the other hand, will use his shed solely for leisure oriented actvities and will spend a lot more time in there than the common or garden owner. At the very least, to qualify as a shedhead, one must have net curtains on his shed windows and an entry on this website:
Shedheads
I think I tick all the boxes. I don't actually have a very big one, as you can see from my picture, and once my recumbent is stowed away in there I won't have much room at all, though I was thinking of fitting in an N-Gauge model railway layout on some kind of fold up structure.
So, my question to the good people of this forum is do you have a shed? Are you a shedhead? What do you do in yours?
Incidentally, a few years ago I was working on a contract in Farnham in Wiltshire and every day I used to pass a shed dealer who I can only imagine must have been the high priest of shedheadonism for he would have advertising hoardings outside which would say things like "Feeling down? Feeling depressed? Need cheering up? Go on, treat your self to a new shed!" and at Christmas a picture of a rendeer with a shed on the end of his nose. Yes, you've guessed it - Rudolph the Shed Nosed Reindeer!
