Weighing Scales

    I often use a Weighing Scale in the chemist's shop as the Crescent Shopping Centre but in the last week or so, it is awaiting repair.

    I have dropped by a few other chemists but I have been unable to locate another machine which prints out your weight, gives an estimate of what your ideal weight should be etc. Usually costs 1 euro.

    Has anybody come across such a machine elsewhere in Limerick?

    Boots in the Crescent have one too...down the back.

    Also one in O’Sullivan’s on Sarsfield street

    Or you could buy your own digital scale .... Argos have them from 15.00 yo yo's up ....

    Ps. No ...... I don't work for Argos :)

    I think he (maybe she) wants the print-out showing what weight they should be in relation to their height, etc.
    I know it's probably only a vague estimate done by the machine, but I'm sure it satisfies the OP's needs.

    Thanks for all the replies.

    I did go down to Boots in The Crescent but never noticed a machine at the rear - and so promptly assumed there was none.

    And the tip about Sullivans is also very useful.

    Once upon a time when I was young (a very long time ago), there was one (non-digital of course) planked on the pavement outside every Chemist in Limerick!

    As regards Argos, I actually do have a digital scales, but it is (like its ower) very inconsistent - showing several different weights within a few minutes of each attempt.

    I seem to have that effect on all sorts of technology - it works fine until I have a go at it.
