Re: Measurements - Total Confusion!
Wasn't it the English who gave us the foot and the inch - 12 to a foot, and 3 feet to the yard? And then you have to split it in half then in half again till you have1/128ths?
You beat me to it. Indeed the "English System" came from, of all people, the English. However, the Welsh people might bristle a bit at being included in the rules of measures set done in the Magna Carta. Polly just remember that 1 barleycorn is about 8.5 mm and you will be fine.
