The Scale...

Post by JMG »

I've been going to my local B&M since I was 18...I'm 31 now. Today I was talking with the shop's tobacconist about the little old scale they use to weigh the tobacco. He said they did the math on how much tobacco this little scale has weighed throughout its 43 years and a very conservative estimate would come out to just under 33 tons of tobacco! I really love my B&M.

You should give them a shout out with their name in it. Someone might be near and not know it?

Yeah, we've been back one week now. We'll be home for about 8 or 9 months and then head back to PNG.
