Having assessed some of the varied answers from respected and experienced members it's clear to me that the main thing that is becoming increasingly obvious that as Derek points out, each of us finds different solutions to suit our needs. :-$ :-"
So I'll post this like the Government burying bad news after a terrorist attack.
I'm really not that bad but I justified this as an apron plane at the time.
I don't own an apron.
Breaking aris's I reasoned.
Yeh. I know.... :oops: Bottle of red probably.
My last tool purchase because I wanted it. I have long learnt since then btw.
Still. It cost far less than that 50pence for scale is worth.

I'm embarrassed to say I have only just read everyone's considered replies to my dipstick question - thank you all for the attention. :oops:

Good news is that I have been hand planing this week, with a purpose! My planer/thicknesser is so innaccurate that I used a hand plane!!! (I then put it through the thicknesser, and squared the sides with the table saw, but it's a start.)
