Men's Sheds

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, Mods or indeed Rockers, please move if not.
I am toying with the idea of retiring next year and this organisation of "Men's Sheds" has been brought to my attention
I can't post a link on my phone but I wondered if anyone had experience of this?

Re: Men's Sheds

Anything organised always makes me suspicious, I got me own shed, it’s completely disorganised the way I like it, it’s not only great for my work and leisure but the privacy and solitude appeals to me, I love it, life wouldn’t be the same to me without my little retreat from the mad world, best thing I ever did was build it, organised groups with sheds would not be for me I'm afraid.

Re: Men's Sheds

I read the first bit Ruthio, and it I thought it was about men meeting in sheds to discuss their problems, not interested, I'll keep me own problems to meself thank you, so I jumped out quickly, too quickly it seems.

Re: Men's Sheds

Can't be a bad thing if it improves Mens physical/emotional/mental health..especially those Men who are retired/Widowed who are not interested in going to the pub,or who don't have any hobbies...I'd be interested if there was one for Women,;~)

It is a good idea, there own little space for a ciggie, a pint and a natter - lovely

Re: Men's Sheds

there are mens sheds for one man only and that's great as Jem explains,me too BUT there are also mens sheds for the multiple men in OZ they gather and fix things,make things and sell then at knock down prices to the community - no alcohol is encourage but gallons of tea and coffee permitted - smoking yes still continues with care!
