Four of these for about £28 total. Unfortunately the other 4 I ordered from another seller (for the same price) were undeliverable because the seller put the wrong address on the parcel, but at least I got a refund.
I can't figure out a way to do a camelcamelcamel search on something like this that might come from lots of sellers with varying descriptions, so I guess I'll just have to keep checking to see if they come back down to £7 each again (they're about £20 from the cheapest amazon seller at the moment).

Something a bloke would never neither say nor admit to.

I think it's a notifier for price drops/deals for Amazon & the like. Kram uses it, I believe.

It’s a price tracker for Amazon stuff, you can see how much things were and see if your getting a bargain/paying over the average etc - it’s a good site

Ive heaed of it but never used. Much of what I found is a result of amazons search, which is useless - shows everything except what your search for.
I have aquired sore legs! 21.4km trail run to shops which would normally be 5km shortest way.
I knew Id be walking home.. I am as I type this. Not helped by Aldi selling large F clamps for £7. Just about fit in my bag. 120mm throat x 400mm long.

This evening I reacquired an item I had lent a neighbour and forgot about. 
We were talking about shipping heavy things, and he mentioned he still had our scale; happy day.
I bought this old 200 lb capacity Salter No. 20 scale quite a few years ago. It has a lead seal, and markings on the back which I can't decipher ?

The line nearest the edge of the scale looks like uppercase Greek. Delta, theta, eta.
But that is assuming the photo shows the text the correct way up. Looking at the inner line of text, that assumption might not be true. If the text is inverted, there is no Greek letter that is a point-down triangle.

A trailer. Left home at 4.30 and returned with the trailer safely stored at a friends place at 11.00
A long journey but worth the effort. I will post a pic on my moving thread once we have it loaded with the machines

Me too! A friend gave me his motorbike trailer, no photos as I promptly dismantled it to replace all of the bolts and to weld up a few cracks.

It is a calibration mark,
Unique to the company who last calibrated it.
H may me hand held, or a calibrated test weight.
The last bit is a date.

Thanks. I thought it might have something to do with certification. I'll have a look and see if I can photo what's stamped on the lead seal.

When my father had a grocers shop in the 50s & 60s the scales & weights were checked by weights & measures periodically & stamped on a lead seal as certified.

I managed to get a closeup of the lead seal. It looks like a crown over the letters G R and an I over 44 .
