Tesco Tape Measures

Picked up a couple of Rolson tape measures from Tesco the other day.Very expensive at =A33 the pair. B-)1 x 3m (10') with 3/4" wide blade.1 x 7.5m (25') with 1" wide blade.Both have feet/inches (1/16" intervals) and centimetres (1mm). The7.5m is self supporting out to 7', the smaller 5'. One annoyance withprevious (narrower blade) tape measures was the shortness of the selfsupporting distance.Can't work out what a couple of regular marks every 16" (40.64cm) and19 7/32" (48.82cm) are for.

Yet another pointless Olympic "sport" attracting millions of lottery money that would otherwise go to a good cause?

Only if you regard absolutely everything that politicians spend money on as a "good cause".

You do if you pay with a Tesco credit card.

I gave up contributing to the lottery as soon as the politicians started telling them what to spend the money on.
