A burning Q... in my experience that needs a trip to the Doctors my dear...


I guess the same question in reverse of why when we go to the toilet do we not weigh less by a proportionate amount to what waste matter we have just produced ?

Erm... they do, don't they? Your body weight varies quite a bit as a result of water intake...

You'd be about 1.1 kilos heavier after two pints.


But if you were holding the glasses when you first tested your weight, and then put the empties down afterwards, you'd be lighter.


Most weighing machines aren't sensitive enough to measure just 1 kilo - even digital ones 'average' your weight over a few seconds because momentum from slight movements causes significant variation in your apparent weight. The 1 kilo may fall within this margin of error.

If you step on a scale holding 2 pints of water and then drank them while standing on the scale it would be completely illogical for the scale's reading to reduce. I haven't tried it (don't own scales) but I'd put money on it.


edited to say I cross-posted with Huguenot.

    • I think you can have afternoon tea at The Cutty Sark?
    • What about a cinema party? The picture house has conservatory but the furniture is a bit shabby. You can connect your own music too. 
    • I got a relatively good deal (well, compared to the quote from my current broker!)  through Orwell Insurance, who also didn't require a survey. £655 pa including subsidence cover. The excess is quite high but there's a ten year guarantee on the work on my front bay, so fingers crossed I won't have to claim. There has been other ground movement decades ago which sadly they also took into account in setting the excess. I used an online site called QuoteZone which was very quick and easy and can exclude any companies which won't cover you if you've had previous subsidence. Good luck to everyone who is in a similar situation! Each company seems to ask different questions and want different things, so definitely try a few places. I didn't want to spend days phoning round, so given I had already  saved £845 I stopped there, though it's possible I could have got it cheaper.
