<p>Mens Shed is their Australia wide legal name, they are everywhere, I've helped out a couple local ones myself when they needed some telco work done, so your argument on what they call themselves is pointless, they also aren't just a bunch of old blokes, there's teenagers as young as 16 involved.</p>
