[Help] This Is One For Allotment Buffs

[Weststander]

Exactly this ^

If you want to get a bit creative, build a false wall in front of the back of the inside of the shed and store your most valuable stuff behind that. It would need to be a pretty big shed to fit a mower behind a false wall though. But a strimmer should work out ok.

Great minds, I thought about doing that in our long garage, with our bikes and power tools kept behind a false wall.

Now much as I'm enjoying watching the DIY experts discussion (being a complete DIY disaster myself), If I remember correctly, my last strimmer cost £15 from B&Q

Protecting my £1,000 bike focuses the mind. Quite a few overnight thefts round here over the last 5+ years, one neighbour’s excellent CCTV captured the scummers. One bloke from one of the Lewes Road estates (that’s how the police described him), got a long prison sentence. A career larcenist.

Larcenist is a term I haven't heard in a looooong while.

I know, I live round the corner remember ? But if had a shed on an allotment I wouldn't leave anything more than a £15 strimmer in it

And, I have quite a few friends who live on Lewes Road estates, the huge majority of whom could be trusted with a £15 Strimmer

How could ever forget, or your verbal assault on Timmy?

With ‘acquisitive’ folk who don’t want to work for a living and harsh lessons learnt from a couple of past thefts, I don’t leave anything lying around at the front or in our cars.

Excellent, were you an extra?

I grew up near there and my late father had an allotment on that site, this was before the 90s though.

Nooo i was working for Brighton parks dept. Can't remember what we were doing up there.

My petrol one was £160 twenty years ago and It’s Stihl going well.

What a bizarre idea! how dare you suggest anything sensible on here!

Your probably right I should go back to Potter bashing and wait in amusement for Vagabond to have some kind of anger seizure

 

[AlbionBro]

I used to have an allotment, not allot got done up there.

just hop on the train and look out the window.

I overheard 2 yanks on the train a few years back, as we went past some allotments, one asked the other what the little patches of land were, his mate replied "subsistence farming" which shocked the first guy, who asked if he was joking, he said "no, really, there are people that poor here".
