Before I go to one of the sheds, are sink plugs measured in inches or metric? I assume there are a range of set sizes. I require one for a hole
3.5cm.

Depends on your ruler, is it metric or imperial?
Take your sink with you to check the fit ;-)
You need a plug to fit a 35mm hole or 1 3/8", look at the packaging!

Depends. If the water goes away in a clockwise spiral it's metraic, anticlockwise it's imperial.
Dunno about sinks, but isn't that a basin plug (rather than a bath plug)?
Plug sizes are normally imperial. The exact size can depend on the age of your sink. I had a problem with a Victorian bath waste that didn't take the modern plug size. The only answer was to taper turn a plug from solid and fit an O ring for sealing.

And if it's horizontal, check the contaminated land register for indian burial grounds.
Ooooh..You clever thing you .!!!!) :-)
Or for those without a lathe, put a rubber plug in the freezer until it's solid, then grind or file it to fit.
