        to be honest, being a continental import of 81,  i am now only reasonably fluent in the imperial system, thanks to the dual purpose measuring tapes... it only gets tricky when i start measuring in inches and centimetres in the same project... its a wonder the conversion of the bus turned out as good as it did.... :
