From great world events to the small things that matter. HHAD is a gem.
I bought a digital 'thermometer' in Tesco without being aware that it was only for checking human temperature. Outside the bodies normal range it reads 'high' or 'low'. A thermometer that doesn't actually give you the temperature is an advance?
Does anyone know where I can buy a mercury thermometer in HH?
I'm not sure those are even manufactured any more (not the oral ones anyway). I think they were banned in the U.S. years ago. I still have one that I protect like gold because I thought if it ever got lost or broken I could never find another one. It's around twenty years old!

I bought a thermometer on the ground floor of the shopping mall. It's a wall mounted one

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.
Are you talking about a meat thermometer? They have a long spike with a round analogue thermometer on one end and you stick the spike in the meat to measure the temperature in the middle of a roast or turkey, etc. I'm sure they must have those here, maybe at Index.
This was just a standard on the wall jobbie Cent and Faran
Never seen a meat spike one

You couldn't make it up the way this thread is going!
You're right Caller! It's like an Abbot and Costello (Who's on first?) or a Monty Python routine! All you need is a couple of brain-dead old farts to make a humorous thread about anything!

Oral, people ones, can be brought in any chemist here. Please don't chew.
