Our older customers don't bother with converting or stuff like that, they will ask for a print say, 6'wide by 2.5metres deep. Or a nice framed print of their dog "about a metre wide by two foot six". They still think or prices should be at 1973 level too. Thankfully they are dying off one by one.

I still find it much easier to ask for a pint than approx. 600ml of beer flavoured beverage... Very Happy
