The smallest crocodile's size is 9.8 to 13 ft and so the shed must be a little bigger than that? Otherwise it would not be as impressive folded! :shock: :D

Hi-- friends-- lets make Fatty's shed as cosy as our imagination lets us do.--A tiger skin rug on the floor,-- a strong, sturdy chest-of-drawers-- where Fatty keeps his ''SECRETS''( disguises and things) which the other Find Outers can access any time.There are two old chairs and a wide wooden bench stretched half way round the shed. There is a wooden shelf kept very tidily, where Fatty keeps the Find Outers stores.-- a tin of assorted chocolate biscuits, a tin of hard boiled sweets, a tin of currant cakes. There are colourful pictures on the wall--- pictures of the countryside in spring. In short Fatty's shed is everything that even a queen would envy--- above all the air of love and friendship in the room. :) :) :)

Maybe it's not really a shed as such, but a chalet!

The saw is intriguing!

Maybe the normal laws of physics don't apply in Fatty's shed... :shock:

Pete, you're a Constable compared to some of those illustrators - and I don't mean a Goon!

Gosh, I hadn't noticed that before. Obviously the illustrator hadn't noticed either! :lol:

I think I'm right in saying this picture depicts the inside of Fatty's shed.Is Ern one of the characters? I wonder which one?
No sign of Buster?

I think I've spotted a few extraneous items that definitely would not usually be found in Fatty's shed - can you see any unusual items that don't belong?

It does look a bit like one of those "Spot What's Wrong" games! The first out-of-place item that catches my eye is the lawnmower looming at the bottom right.

I'd say the boy in the yellow shirt could be Ern because he looks as though he's in a trance, perhaps composing a pome as follows:

A pore young boy sat in the shed
Apart; not quite belonging.
No boarding-school or lobster spread
For him; no cooks a-gonging.
