3.5mm below the strings - the thickness of two quarters. Since when has Yorkshire been metric?

Here in the Colonies we use the thickness of 2 quarters. Smile
This equals 0.132 in. OR 3.3528 M.M.

Thank you gentleman for the answer and the light hearted banter also.I was taught metric at school and find it is easier to split up and seems also more exact being based around 10 .
We should be grateful on both sides of the pond that we are neither in the Euro zone .What would the distance then be chaps ?-perhaps a couple of Euros -but with its capricious variability in exchange rate we could be thinking of a pup distance of between 10 and 0.84 euros gap!!

I'm still trying to figure out the speedometer in doctors' buggy. It's in furlongs by fortnights.

My speedometer is usually a wife or girlfriend. When I get over the speed limit, they yell and slap me upside the head.

Davo...A 50 pence piece with a bit of slack will be fine, but I normally just eyeball it...it won't break or make any deals.
