If a carpet is £35 per square yard – how much is it per square metre?

Cheers

£38.43

What time would John arrive at the train station though?

Depends if was running on a treadmill inside the train

£41.86 per square metre.

Neal – obviously you’ve done what we didnt do the first time and multiplied 35 by 1.196, but 1 squared yard = 0.836 squared meters so surely £35 per square yard is £29.26 per square meter (35 x 0.836)? Totally confused and heads about to explode!

Is a metre bigger than a yard, also is the price per cm the same when buying yards rather than metres?

Who knows, but John got the train at 3-30

1m = 1.09361 yards

meter= 3’3″ =39″
yard = 3′ = 36″

35/sq yard = 35/(36*36) per square inch
square metre =39*39 square inches = £41.08

Is a meter and a metre the same thing?

Does one do my electricity and one my spanking stick?

Stupid school.

using your conversion

1m = 1.09361 yards

1 sqM = 1.196 sqYd

need to do 35*1.196

i need a drink

There’s an excellenttourist pub in Edinburgh clearly named after you Albanach.

Mortlach, Lagavuilin or Oban for you sir?

That would be 35 / 0.836 which is still £41.86

Would it be rude to have all three in the one glass?

Yes it bloody would.

We could do it like Jaegerbombs though, the malt equivalent of a 3 bird roast.

Mortlach(18yo) in a long glass, then the Lagavuilin (16yo) in a shot then an Oban(14) in a test-tube.

Pretty fitting as that seems to be where most of the population comes from.
*ooooooooh*
Bad hijack, sorry.

emmm D=VT!

Do folk still measure in yards???

Only when kicking stuff, or falling over looking for penalties, I think.

For me:

Baw hairs upto a millimetre.
Millimetres upto an inch.
Inches to a foot
Feet to a couple of metres
Meters to a mile
Miles
Then yonks past yonder.

its probably totally irrelevant – IME you don’t buy carpet by sq m or sq yds you buy a length at a fixed width.
