Travel upstream from Marlow until you reach a light oil slick of ATF II and 10w40, then you have reached my humble town.
Definitely!
Though we refer to them as that up here too. Surely it's the same down South?

T'was me with the digital calipers ( called them vernier as that seems quite common now ). He had the verniers, mine were zeroed, plus all my other glass measures 5mm as they should.If the guy at the desk used as you put it a "digital vernier".
then it could be he did not zero it ? if it was digital. Or , he did not know how to read it if it was a vernier scale.....as I have never come across a digital vernier....LOL
I was only planning on telling him to get a new set for Christmas, quite light-heartedly. I don't like being too harsh on others.

We call them allotments down here! All the rage, don't you know.

If he had vernier calipers, and he did not know how to read them it could well be an honest mistake on his part.
Hopefully that is the case.
Cheers
Ha ha, surely not. If I did a survey on the streets of Henley on Thames I reckon nobody would have heard of an allotment. Won't they think it's a share in their next inheritance.

I'm giving him the benefit. I'm not out of pocket and the glass fits ( if I had 4mm fittings and they supplied 5mm glass it might have been different ). They normally provide a good service ( whoever "they" are! ), and usually beat most internet prices, so as long as they give me a decent discount on that water pump I need to buy I won't be that annoyed!

Now to shoot some pheasant to go with the vegetables that Jeeves has been growing us this year.Ha ha, surely not. If I did a survey on the streets of Henley on Thames I reckon nobody would have heard of an allotment. Won't they think it's a share in their next inheritance.

HRH Liz will be most displeased.
Plus, what will all the Poles in Reading catch and eat?
WHAAAAAT
! But, I've just been on street view on Google Earth and the car parks are full of BMW's and Range Rover Evokes. You have a different class of commoner down there.

The sooner they stop looking at our swans the better. There are plenty of pigeons for those sort of people!
