Swmbo went to B&Q this morning to buy some new plastic drawer inserts for
the kitchen.

She called & asked me what size the drawers were. 400 x 400 was the
answer provided by my trusty tape rule.

She asked a B&Q droid who handed her two inserts clearly marked "400mm
wide drawer inserts".

They didn't fit, being 330mm wide x 430mm deep. They didn't actually
measure 400mm in any direction I could find.

I took them back & got two "500mm wide drawer inserts". They were 430mm
wide.

Quick trim & they fitted, but is it asking too much to assume that things
described as 400mm & 500mm wide should actually be 400mm & 500mm wide?

Confused of Medway
