News: Car beats shed in survey of men’s favourite escapes
Just going to the car – I may be some time
THE CAR is more popular than the shed as a place where men like to spend time, according to a survey.
The research, by Just For Men, found that men ranked the car sixth in their top 10 “man time” refuges, while the garage came seventh, making both more popular than spending time at a friend’s house.
The shed, commonly regarded as the most preferred bolt-hole of all, came tenth.
The most popular place to escape was, perhaps unsurprisingly, the pub.
