SCONE — Fictional Tam Kerr refused to leave his shed during Storm Boelo, saying “if it goes, we go together”. His wife has been passing sandwiches through the window.
“He’s done this for every storm since Frank,” she said. “The shed has never once blown away. He thinks it’s him.”
The real story: Fictional.

Nothing wrong with a man and his shed. Mine has a kettle. Shed’s better company than the telly.
