Perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised by the British MPs' love of garden sheds. After all they are fairly useful structures. Just image what the average garden would look like without that little shed. There would be piles of gardening tools such as spades rakes and forks all in various states of corrosion and decay; the lawn mower would have given up the ghost having had to endure a bleak wet winter, and the kids bikes would be rust heaps. The bags of garden chemicals and bug killers would be unusable, there would be nowhere to over-winter the dahlia bulbs, and the dog would have chewed all the garden bamboo canes.
Garden sheds are good value for money too. After all the MP for Hexham claimed only £100 for his shed and this included some garden tools. This seems to be very modest and although his local constituency members are claiming that a garden shed is not necessary to enable him to undertake his constituency and parliamentary duties, it does seem a little small minded of them. After all, a bit of gardening is often a welcome relaxation from the heavy duties of parliament and it could well be that their Member for Hexham is a better MP for it.
Another MP who bought a shed for his second home is also under fire, but in his case it really is taking things too far. He lives in a one bedroom flat with his cat and has only a small garden. It is quite obvious that in these circumstances a garden shed is an essential and certainly we should not begrudge him one.
The outcome of this expenses scandal will be that, in the future, MPs will have to purchase their own garden sheds; however sheds are so useful and affordable that it is certain the MPs won't deprive themselves of one, even though it will cost them, rather than us, some money.
