My god how old is that?

I guess that rules out Bluetooth then.

Are you one of those Merkins?

y barometer has the name of an old established Edinburgh company on the dial.

And ours has the name of a Brighton company on it - but not on the dial, as it hasn't got one, being a traditional mercury barometer.

Bloody hell how old are you? I'm 44 and there's one that was made before I was born with a dial.

Yes a long long long time ago, the UK used the imperial s*it. We moved on. America didn't.

I'm not sure. My husband salvaged it from work, and the building it was in dates back to the 1950s.

If people understood that s*it we could still have the lead paint and Zinc Chromate primer that actually worked.

It's worse than that now everything is water based and takes a millennium to dry, then just washes off.
