I use feet and meters , most jobs i measure in meters then change to feet so i can price by the square , tube and boards i use feet

went to sainsburys yesterday to get some photos done and asked them to do A4 when the photos come out they were A3 massive cos the young lad thought A4 was 12x16 i got bigger prints so shows even the youngsters get it wrong
