The catalogue is no longer online.

Sorry no. I did not think it was R&W though and, looking at the pictures I took, it was Cromptons.... From memory the hockey was around 220 and the pintable slightly more. Think the scales went for about 80 quid.

Thanks. I'd forgotten about the Bally Prospector pintable - best of the bunch by the look of it.

I once went to look at a speak your weight machine in the 80s.
Sadly when I tried it I only heard half the message before it jerked missing off the middle sentence.


Watching it closely I estimated the needle had jumped about 3 grooves, I wondered if it was the record.

But, no, apparently the record was held by a Dutch weegtoestel on Trein platform aantal 4 at Utrecht Centraal. It was claimed to have jumped 7 grooves in 1966 when the Amsterdam express thundered through.

My wife is so fat, she has a belt called the equator.
