Kitchen Scale - Please recommend

Having gone through 3 of these in the last few months I've decided that before I make the same mistake again, I'd try and get some recommendations for a good digital kitchen scale.

(2 generic ones from the local DIY store which both broke within a month followed by one from Salter which never worked to begin with - the sales assistant later admitted that they've had trouble with the model)  

Really I'm pretty happy with using a good old fashioned 'analogue' scale most of the time, except for home baking where small measurements in starter/yeast/salt can make a big difference.

I'm looking for recommendations for something reliable (which I can find easily in the UK)?  I'd like it to have a 1g accuracy and be able to take 4ish kg max weight . Tare function would be absolutely essential.

Thanks in advance!
