Well, it'll probably take me a couple of weeks to work out where they are at the rate things are going!
In the meantime, here's a couple of useful rule-of-thumb approximations (to the nearest mm) - frequently more useful than the exact measurements for visualising things.
(except for 1/16" - 1.59mm and 3/32" - 2.38mm to 2 dec places)
1/8" - 3mm
1/4" - 6mm
3/8" - 10mm
1/2" - 13mm
3/4" - 19mm
(and, of course, 1" = 25.4mm, but that's not an approximation either)
2" 50mm
3" 75mm
...
I still tend to buy lumber by Imperial cross-section and metric length. :smilie
