Thank you to Emily Retter for exposing the curse of the prefab garden shed (‘Just look at this monstrosity!’ Inside Britain’s bilious back yard shed wars, 29 September). Perhaps these luxury sheds should come with a health warning: “Do not assemble if you value good relations with your neighbours.”
In our street, shed wars have been fought with ghosting, poo emojis and sinister, overly loud laughter in back yards. In London, it seems that the more open-plan a house is inside, the more likely it is to have a sealed, square-eyed “room” outside in the garden. After all, we all need walls and doors sometimes.
