Same here agree with you

can anyone give links to better deals - I have been after one for a while - a station that does the lot but not charging those crazy prices.

cheers

It's amazing how as soon a you ask for a better deal to explain why something is voted cold there is a chilly silence!

Maybe people think you have to vote an item cold just because you don't want it

Again, it's the same people who vote cold on items like this who go mental and vote hot at a deal for a free tea bag or a cup a soup.

Their rented bed sits will be full of the crappest items posted on HUKD.

Quick click Coolers spoiling the HUKD website again. There should be a limit to the number of cold votes a user can give in 24hrs. People would then use their cold votes more carefully - i.e. if they felt VERY strongly about a poor offer?. Has this ever been tried mods? (we can't give heat twice on a deal so maybe it could be done?).
Anyway Heat added from me and Keep on posting HOTBOT - don't let the coolers get you down

This thing has been this price for ages, and was at one time I believe, for sale at £49.99. There are better weather stations out there, none of which Maplin sell.

I think you should only be able to vote hot or cold if you post a comment (which can't be left blank).

There are thousands of users on this site so more should speak up and contribute.

Some more banter would be good too, it's far too serious on here most of the time

I sent a feedback request for this feature (yesterday). Why don't you also request it? - This website is begining to get bogged down with easy click -ve. I asked if they could also display a little graph at the side of deal details showing -ve makeup (ie too local, niche product, poor experience with supplier, very low quantity available etc) This would then allow the original poster to see why he/she gets so much -ve.

So what's a better (and cheaper) weather station? I had a Hama one that was great, but the outside unit kept cutting out periodically and had to be reset. That happened with my previous one too (unbranded). Is this a common problem with them? It seems to be battery contact - tweaking solves the problem, but it's a hassle to have to keep tweaking it every few days, or weeks if you're lucky.

aren't these about £6-7 in lidl/aldi albeit without the rainfall monitor. is it really worth paying £65 extra for rainfall measurements when a mug will do the same thing ;)
