A Weighty Matter

Finally, another positive customer service experience (we have had fine experiences with grocery-delivery service) !

John Lewis, whom I'm informed will be my "new best friend" is a department store that offers free delivery. This way, one does not have to haul bulky items home on the bus from either the Brent Cross Shopping center, or the bustling Oxford Street shopping district, served directly by one of the Abbey Road buses.

New purchases fitting the description of Bulky (not Bahlke) are: 2 new bed pillows, and TA-DA, a bathroom scale. In a toe-to-toe fight, which do you think will win? Bing! In this corner, the cheapo mechanical scale from the department store, or, in the red corner, the fancy digital one belonging to the Marquis of Kilo Mismeasurement over at the hospital?

Bing! It's a knockout! The cheapo scale wins with an uppercut to the left cheek!
It wins by 2.5 kilos (LOWER than the hospital scale). You'll have to do the conversion yourself. I actually have no idea, but probably in the range of 6-7 pounds, as this scale also weighs one in "stone", which equals 14 pounds, and I can do THAT math.

I had a restless night being bothered by the downstairs neighbors, so I'm going to go test-drive the pillows now.... z z z z z z z z
