Well, er, feet, being the unit that everybody
understands.

Isn't it about time that everybody understood metric?

The observation was obviously made in feet because the
conversion to millimetres is ludicrously exact. All right, it's
609.6 mm. If they must use metric, then cm.

I think you mean ludicrously precise, but I may be wrong. 600mm, or 60cm
would do.

Looking at the report this morning, it refers to 'about two feet', so
that's all right then.
