I bought sheets of plywood (in the UK) a few years which were 8ft x 4ft - and 2cm thick. Go figure, @KiwiBird

@ArtieKat Yeah I have seen those mixed measurement metaphors as well. Grain is often measured in bags per acre. Bags is a volumetric measurement that went out of use when bulk handling came in. Grain is sold by the tonne. You also get Kg or Tonnes per acre instead of hectare.
