thermometers
« on: December 24, 2010, 08:54:27 am »
so i know alot of vans and cars these days have thermometers in them already, but mine hasnt.
Im currently checking the temps every morning by throwing water on my own bedroom window and looking at temps online.

Ive come to the conclusion none of these methods are very accurate so im thinking of buying a thermometer but wonderering the best place to have it. i know it needs to be in the shade and not on house walls (because the bricks store heat and give inaccurate readings)

So where does everyone keep there thermometers or do you not bother with them and if not how do you go about telling temps?

Thanks, george

I've got one on the outside of the kitchen window, it's just a simple dial one but good enough for me....I don't need it for met readings.

Stick one in the back of your car/van
This should be reliable when the vehicle has been parked all night.

Get a little battery operated fishtank thermometer from ebay for about £2. I've got one in my van with the unit on the dashboard and the sensor stuck to the outside of the passenger window.

I think a thermometer under the tongue is far less embarrassing than one where the sun don't shine.

And certainly don't use the one that was put where the sun don't shine under your tongue afterwards.

It's a game of three halves!

Why not?  As long as it's been sterilised.  Anyway, none of us born before 1955 can say we haven't been administered a probe of dubious origins, warmed up or not.
