I'd like to get a new clinical thermometer (just to have one in the house)
and
replace the glass Hg one we have now. I'm off to Boots in the morning to
see
what they have - but wonder if someone here knows a make they can
recommend (and
where from + cost?)

I use the thermal colour change disposable type, which is what my local
hospital uses. They need no batteries and if you break one they don't drop
mercury about.
