I 'loose' measuring tapes with alarming regularity. The Tape Fairy
obviously has me on her hit list.

Spotted these in TLC, really nice tape, nice wide blade that extends a fair
way before buckling. Has that auto lock feature which I like a lot. Good
value at around £3.

Even better was spotting these. I had one & lost it :-(

Brilliant design for measuring internal sizes. Bit pricey for a tape, but
worth is weight.

Some other nice new bits - spare nozzles for silicone tubes, 6 for 99p.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "The Medway Handyman"
saying something like:

I 'loose' measuring tapes with alarming regularity.

Not surprising, they want to be free to roam across the plains.

They, along with spectacles and SK blades, are usually herd and not seen.

All sounds pretty extravagant to me: Whenever I pass a poundland I
buy a couple: One day I'll reach saturation point and be able to find
one.....
