My farther is a builder. He measures rooms or areas by walking from 1 end to the other. He reckons 1 stride is about a metre(!)
It can be quite confusing for me because he rarely states what system he is using:
"I need to pick up some 2 by 4 later"
What's that then? Inches, cm, millimetres?
We are confronted everywhere by confusing multitudes of measurement methods - Shoes, Clothes, food, and worst of all, currency!
I think sometimes they make it confusing so you cannot easily tell whether you are being screwed over
The absolute worst thing I really hate is how prices magically end in .99
Now only £199.99!!!
