We get lots of emails and telephone calls asking what the measurement / weights of products are in British
measurements, rather than the European one which we normally show.
We originally had the idea of letting visitors to the website choose British or European measurements, however,
having researched this issue, we believe that legally we can not have a webpage that just shows the British
measures.
We then had the idea of showing both measurements, but highlighting either the British or European versions
depending upon the website users choice. Again, we do not think we can legally do this, as the law states that
if both European and British measurements are used, the European must be just as obvious as the British
versions.
Therefore, the only option left seems to be to allow the website user to "Turn On" the British weights
and measurements and still show the European equivalent.
Selecting which items will be shown in British measurements can be done below, this will set a cookie which
will then tell our webpages to display the British measurements and weights.
PLEASE NOTE - some the figures the above options produce will be APPROXIMATE, particularly the Field of View as this is multiplied up from the degrees - 6.5 degrees multiplied up gives quite a difference from 6.564 degrees (340 feet versus 343 feet)
