I have just been looking at one of the lovely jigsaws, and its size is 400mm x 600mm - because my year at school was the last to do only imperial (the next few years did both, then after that just metric) I can't visualise roughly how big that is. I think it was instilled in me when I was young enough and I just have to keep getting out a ruler or tape measure! Sorry to be so pathetic but it would make such a difference! Love Michele x

I've just lived with a tape measure for years! lol. I got the ounces vs.gramms things sorted out when my mum told me that 100g is roughly 4 ounces (enough to check stuff if not for actualy cooking) Now I can be knowledgable about length too ooooooOOOooooooooooh!

Thanks for that, now my problem will be sleeping on it and still remembering. And I used to have such a photographic memory, them were the days. Ali x
