I have no wish to bore with my story but last week I spent time with professor Brian Saunders who is the leading consultant Gastroenterologist and specialist Endoscopist at The London Clinic.

As a fully qualified carpenter and joiner with city and guilds of London Institute recognition (1969), I have never been described as pompous. I think that remark unnecessary.
I have been called a chippy but after all these years I still cannot produce a good tempura.

If my conversion means you need to use a calculator,forget it.
Everybody knows the kilometer / mile conversion, because it is well publicised.
My formula is now in your head for the first time. Use it.
Actually you already have.

I know from experience that some people cannot relate centimeters to inches using mental arithmetic. If you are old school, yards, feet and inches, you can convert centimeters to inches using a multiplication of 4 . i.e. 60 cms x 4 =240 remove the zero and using common sense reach a figure of 24 inc...
