yes, buy them a Braun, very reliable.
Whether you agree or disagree, why not leave your own thoughts below.
Good heavens no! here in Europe they work on steam, and have to work in the dim light of caves. But the later ones -mostly in London) run on gas, I’m told.
And they have to be specially calibrated because everyone has hairy arms… and our knuckles reach the ground.
And they MUST be Hamburger-free. Had you thought of that? We eat healthy food here, and that interferes with the readings, apparently. To get proper readings (American readings, that is) it’s hopeless if you eat a good healthy diet
Oh, yes, and almost everyone here weighs less than 250 lbs, which needs a special kind of cuff, – ‘dainty’ even, because the chap who invented them was actually (-surprising this-) European… They’d never work in Wichita, boy! Never.
And (wouldn’cher just know it!) because England drives on the left, you can only buy ‘em to fit the left arm!! It’s illegal to manufacture them to fit the right!
The clincher is a brand-new EU Regulation, which, because of the Greek Economic Disaster crisis, makes it mandatory for the read-out to be in GREEK! to save money, they say. Imagine, GREEK! Who in hell’s name can translate 231/115 into Greek?
