Apparently they were designed with a rectangular shape and made of wood material, giving them a unique brown colour.

Is your space at the back of your house not big enough to use? Smallish greenhouses aren't super-expensive, and I'd come over to help you chuck one up.

Cheers but stupid children would just smash it. I used to have a shed out back but it kept getting broken into. Nothing in it, it was there when I bought the house.

They'd go through all the draws every time, presumably expecting to find cash and diamond jewellery and other valuable things someone might well keep in a shed.

Really winds me up that kind of thing, the laws only exist to protect the lawbreakers. They can do as they please with no consequences, but if you try to employ reasonable measures to protect your property, like electrified fences or broken glass on the walls you can expect a visit from Plod. Even painting the tops of walls with anti-vandal paint is only allowed if you also put up warning signs, and where's the fun in that?

Given free reign I'd have remote control pop-up machine guns similar to what Blofeldt has in the crater of his volcano lair in 'You Only Live Twice.'

Two should give me sufficient arc of fire to cover the whole yard.

Many years ago when I bought my first flat in a less lugubrious area of London the next door neighbour's son used to break in to my flat occasionally and nick random stuff to feed his drug addiction. Inspired by Vietnam films, I considered concealing sharpened bamboo sticks in the weeds under the high wall he used to climb over to get into my garden but ultimately thought better of it.

Good thing too, you don't want him bleeding all over your carpets, that would be awful.

While there'd be excellent "forensic opportunities" (even our worse than useless CSIs couldn't bugger that one up), you'd be expected to provide field dressings and maybe a blood transfusion (duty of care and all that). And a nice cup of tea while waiting for the ambulance.

Were you at Goodmans in that era?

No, I was there 2000 - 2004 when they were only doing OEM car speakers.

Bargain from a charity shop, a B&W mini zeppelin for a tenner!

Certainly looks like a bargain. Is it for iPods, or will it connect to other devices?

I’ve just used the aux port with a Bluetooth receiver or my old sandisk MP3 player, sounds good [emoji846]
