*Cough*

You obviously need a new, big (better make that very big), shed/garage (with shutters)for, erm... 'gardening equipment'. Missus need not know...

Not: I did not say or make that suggestion and hold no responsibility, implied or otherwise with that sentence. If asked, I will state that I 'was merely passing on a gardening tip' and any thought of marital subterfuge and deceit couldn't have been further from my mind.

Schnellboots on back burner
