Oops!! Old school, yes. Dippy old git, I guess so. Just as an aside, in case you are wondering why my brain is addled, am in the process of building a model railway layout, and when purchasing the timber I gave him the size I wanted and he replied "Oh, you mean 2" x 2" ". Yes I replied, what lengths is it supplied in, "!.8 metre or 2.4 metre" was the answer. Ho Hum.
Bryanj:
But timber is always sold in metric lengths of english width and height
royhall:
Plywood is advertised in metric yet it still measures exactly 8'*4'.

Wheels & tyres are virtually all in imperial for diameter, with the rest of it metric and % too. A right old mish mash.
Bicycles too, but with 700 series (was just road bikes in continental Europe) as completely metric and the rest inches dia, except 700 has now been labelled 29" for mountain bikes ::) all a bit nuts.
Bryanj:
Plywood is actualy 1440x1220 which just happens to be 8 x 4
