You must be leaving your bench too clean and tidy.

My wife will not be able to read that sign, my kids share her "piles of crap on every worksurface" fixation, I don't think their reading abilities are any better than my wife's.

There was an article in a newspaper some years back about there being a Lancaster bomber on the moon.

What nonsense... it was a flying fortress.

We have a barn, but putting the workshop in it would mean that I see even less of wife/kids than I currently do. I don't mind them too much, so would rather stay in the garage

Instead of a wife and kids? Will FaceTime do my washing?

It will only get filled with empty plastic plants pots and pink gardening gloves.

Husband and son are the worst culprits for putting things on any horizontal surface. Can't even leave the ironing board out for half an hour with no ironing!!!

Neither should you. Do more ironing, or tidy up after yourself. Can't abide people leaving their hobbies out. ;

Assume you don't do all the ironing then Nick. Not my idea of a hobby.

No, I do very little, but in my defence, I do pay for a separate Sky box so she can watch property/antique/period dramas without ruining the evening for others whilst it gets done. I'm a bloody hero, me.

I've cracked ironing-I don't do it; a great topic of conversation for others! Who cares?
