Well, I'm afraid the tape measure never lies. And, whilst we've caught you out on your exaggerations there Nutty, I can't give you the exact measurement because this tape doesn't do fractions.

Nutty could barely contain his excitement...the inside leg measurement was next!

Now that you mention it, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to post Sargent Bloggins to the clothing depot given his habit of reversing numbers.

Any measurement must take into account the position of the observer. There is no such thing as measurement absolute, there is only measurement relative................blah blah blah.........
