Height and Weight Machines in Metric, M11 Service Station
July 14 2001 at 4:26 PM
Spotted at the Birchanger Service Station on the M11 (Bishops Stortford exit), a brand new height and weight machine. It prints out your height in 'metres/feet and inches' and your weight in 'kg/stones and pounds'.
But its most striking feature is a prominent, adjustable height bar _using centimetres only_. The company concerned is 'Leisure Vend Operating Ltd.' and the telephone number of their southern office is 01634 296234.
The only good news about this machine is that it costs 50p. a throw and is therefore unlikely to be used much.
