Swmbo went to B&Q this morning to buy some new plastic drawer inserts for the kitchen.
She called & asked me what size the drawers were. 400 x 400 was the answer provided by my trusty tape rule.
She asked a B&Q droid who handed her two inserts clearly marked "400mm wide drawer inserts".
They didn't fit, being 330mm wide x 430mm deep. They didn't actually measure 400mm in any direction I could find.
I took them back & got two "500mm wide drawer inserts". They were 430mm wide.
Quick trim & they fitted, but is it asking too much to assume that things described as 400mm & 500mm wide should actually be 400mm & 500mm wide?
