Not only is it small, but it's more accurate :-o

I'm around 5'3 and I'm maybe a bit bustier than most people my height but otherwise fairly average, and I'm a size 10-12.
Aren't cups, in terms of baking anyway, a specific size? And you have to buy them specially?

UK size it's about 4-6, but that's generally because like stated, I have a hard time finding clothes that fit, sometimes I need the size below whatever UK size 4 is(evidently the chart I'm looking at doesn't have it, it's 0 here) and other times I would need a UK size 8(which is 6 here)
Fashion/shoes/everyone should seriously put in some regulations on what sizes are what. There's no standard really.
Lunchbox:
I am confused by all sizes and generally just buy the smallest one. Most of the time it works.
Anyway Manda! I was going to dispute your reasons for hating metric. We have: Tuh duh! The Metric Cup! It's not very different at all. I have been cooking for about ten years and only just bought my first set of kitchen scales. What is frustrating is getting recipes from the Internet and realising too late that it was an American recipe and all your carefully measured cups and tablespoons were slightly out. Bah.
Also I am 169cm and buggered if I remember what that is in feet.
Tom:
I'm 178cm, I'd be taller like my dad but my Mum is really really short. Also, my 13 year old brother, odds are the younger two as well are going to end up being taller than me. I actually was smarter than them at those ages, still am according to 2 different heads of department at my school.
