Thanks Tom - it never occured to me that others used different measurement methods.
I'll keep it in mind when making any posts :) It can sometimes get difficult trying to choose words that I know are universal when I make posts here. I know it can lead to confusion.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
