They suggest a compromise - that he build the shed some number of
miles away, and have formed a committee to decide how many miles is
appropriate. Initial proposals range up to one million miles.
Responding to criticism that the shed builder is being persecuted
without cause, the group's spokesman assured reporters that the group
isn't against garden sheds, *but*...
