Wickers, I'm not being rude, just observant. If you'd like me to be a bit rude.....

Did you know that you get shorter with age?

Quite right...we do get shorter as we get older. Also do you realise that you are taller in the mornings than in the evenings!! Could be up to .5mm...think that's about 3/16 of an inch in real money! And I believe you are shorter at the poles than at the equator, the earth being an oblete spheroid and being flatter at the top and thus gravity has more effect. Does that mean that when we are skiing in the mountains we are taller than at home? Ps. I've spell checked this!

My belly is getting shorter with every mile I pedal...

Just to upset Bandit I have also spell checked but as I'm on a mac it might be Americanism for which I apologies to Bandit

My bold. Half a millimetre = about 3/16th of an inch ...hmmmmm

That will be 0.0197 of an inch then

Maths, is just not my thing

0.0197of an inch could be very important for some girls.

Hi

Depends on whether you're feet are 12 inches or 304.8mm......????,normally if i am working with wood i use feet and inches and metal it's mm's, but as one of the previous replies says it doesn't matter if the beer is in litres or pints mmmmmmmmmm
