Err ain't that what a tape measure's for?

Well, yes. In t'olden days tapes used to have 'add xxx' on the base
so you could accurately measure inside dimensions, but none of my
tapes seem to have that now.


Dave,

Well simply measure the case at the bottom (just in case your not sure of
the bottom - it's where the tape 'thingy' sticks out) and then add that on
to your measurement!

Ah! And don't forget to take into account the thickness of the bent 'thingy'
on the end of the tape - you know, that 'hooky' thing that usually slides to
account for thickness differences on inside and outside dimensions --that is
of course if you want to be accurate in youre measuring!

Simple really - providing you can do the complicated maths. ;-)
