I've just broken my rainfall measuring glass (is that what it's
called?). Where's the best place to buy another, please?

Metcheck. *It was an absurd price (£35, thirty-five quid!) and I'll be
a little wary about going there again.

cylinder, calibrated at 12.77 ml per mm rain. *You could probably get
half a dozen of these on eBay for the price I paid, with perhaps a 10
ml cylinder thrown in for small amounts of rain. *The excellentBillReadwould be more reasonable, as Bernard suggests.

Has anyone got an alternative address for Bill Read. I, too, am
looking for a measuring glass and have not received a reply from my
request on the virgin email address. Thank you
