Sitting in sheds?

[MarkF]

Out cycling last summer I called in at pub on Bingley's main st, it had a nice beer garden, it also had some garden sheds on one side with drinkers sat in them, I thought this was odd as it was very nice sunny day and I'd not thought, "I really want to sit in a shed".

Last night I was out cycling (Now I've actually started this year there is no stopping me) and stopped for "fuel" at the Black Hat in Ilkley. This too had a nice beer garden......and also some sheds, I was soaking up the sun in a deserted beer garden looking at others sitting in the full-to-capacity sheds, drinking.........

I don't get it, I have a shed at home, is this a UK wide craze that has passed me by?.

Wtf
It's not as if they can be used by smokers either

There is a rather nice cafe in Oakham that has a couple of sheds in their outdoor area, rather nice when there is a bit of a breeze as they give a bit of shelter. I can see the idea at the pub working just as well because people will stay outside a little longer as the evening cools.

At 'The Hind' in Leicester (a former coaching inn opposite the train station) they've converted the old stables into 'alcoves' for patrons,

There are cafes where you can pay by the hour to sit with cats.

I don't have a cat or a shed

I prefer sheds to cats and there is a shed sized hole in my life

I like this development

We went to a really lovely pub on the outskirts of York with a much less regimented affair in the extensive garden. Quite a neat idea for rainy evenings I think.

I run an arts centre in an old Iceland freezer store. We had two sheds from other projects so we put them in the bar area and stuck chairs in 'em. People just like sitting in sheds.

I bet they are used by smokers.

Northern thing? Some see so little sun they shrivel like vampires.

I think its a womb thing. People like the feeling of enclosure. It's comforting.

I once booked a log cabin in Kinlochleven only to discover it was a Shed when I got there , they look pretty big in the photo but are only about 8ft by 8ft , bed on either side and about 2ft of floor space in the middle , the whole campsite is only about 20 metres by 20 metres .

I like sitting in our "shed" if I can get a seat
