The difference between feet and metres is only a prolem when you talk about hundreds. I much prefer feet and inches myself, but am quite efficient at metres, at least I hope so!(:-) I'm one of those "in conversion" generation, I do heights of people in feet and inches, I do car distances in miles, and I measure things between 1 inch and 12 inches in inches. Anything less than an inch or between 12 inches and 5 foot, and racing distances, they are all in metric! Consequently, I don't do yards, cos people aren't measured in yards! I would say about ... 4'x9'? I'm in conversion too. I know how big a metre is, but I cannot visualise what a something or other x metre sq looks like. Tina |
