I've seen mention in this thread of dodgy kitchen scales. They needn't
be. Modern digital kitchen scales are perfectly adequate for 99.9% of
postage purposes.

I have a modern set of non-digital scales. They are adequate to +/- 50g,
which is OK for cooking, but not for posting. Are you saying I should
use up some more of the earth's precious resources upgrading, just
because of the Royal Mail?

If you were regularly sending items heavier than a standard letter,
for example if you're a regular eBay seller, then investing in a set
of accurate scales would be worthwhile.
