Default Re: 'Men In Sheds'

Given the great interest in various "restoration" programs on TV, an ageing population [ie us] anxiety about lack of practical "nous" in younger generations and also the generation "divide" [so called] access to electronic workshops would be a useful investment for any government to support and set money aside for. I'm looking at the "Men in Sheds Book" perched on the shelf above me as I type but I think a more generic title would be needed to include all genders [there's a lot of them now] and young people as well. Raspberry Pie seems to have gone down well there! Perhaps a title for electronics/craft/engineering along the lines of "Sure Start" [for assistance with learning about Child Care] eg" The Learning Repair Centre" or something a lot better than that!
