Growing up with the metric system I was able to guesstimate distances and measures in meters and centimeters pretty well. Today I got a 10mm wide piece of ring (some sort of a tool) and it just seemed too small for the said 1cm.
It was no lie, my only explanation is that living in this country makes you see important stuff smaller. It has to be in inches or feet or on the tens of thousands to be valued.
I want my good old small is beautiful European value system back!
