In the times that I use metric and inches I just "round" 25 mm to the

inch,
4" ~ 100mm.
1/2 inch ~ 12.5 mm or 6 1/2 mm
1/4 inch ~ 6.25mm or 6 1/4 mm
1/8 inch ~ 3.125mm or 3 1/8 mm


When you get down to it as far as I'm concerned, it's all what sounds
better. I've got to tell you, 75 F sounds a whole lot warmer than 24 C. The
older I get, the colder it seems to get.


When the Michiganians look at the weather channel and see that it is
70 in Port Huron Michigan and 20 in Sarnia Ontario...a lot of them
stay home.

We like that.


...and by 'We Like that'..I, of course, mean that we think it is
funny.........*smirk*
