This is the famous weighing machine on Temple Meads station, Bristol. Built in 1862 by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the machine is still going strong and attracting visitors from around the world.
The machine is very simple to use and shows weight to an accuracy of plus or minus 25%.
A word of warning if you're making a special journey to weigh yourself - not everybody is allowed to use the machine. Potential weighees should be neither excessively over or underweight, not unusually tall or short, smartly dressed with attractive features and should be able to speak fluent English with no trace of a regional accent.
