JB Perhaps you hadn't had a baby

I'm a man or was the last time I looked.

JB conveyanced property or land,

Nope.

JB employed any building trades,

Yes, I had some plaster repaired in my ceiling before leaving Glasgow
and he said it would need two and a half feet of new plaster!

JB used a modern recipe book,

Yes, frequently and most are still in metric and imperial.

JB or ordered anything made to measure for quite some time beforehand?

Yes, and again a combination of yards and metres was used.

Anyway it was "Yards" that were mentioned, albeit garden yards as I said
in my next mail and asked that this one be ignored ;-)

As far as I know the UK still uses yards, feet and miles. Other
measurements weren't part of the message.
