Not 4" x 1"?
So which is a higher priority? Clarity and legibility of the floorplan, by not covering it in numbers, or saving a small percentage of the likely buyers from having to join the current century?
As I've already said, I don't think there's a problem. If I could do it on small, fixed size labelling, I think agents can do it.

Since 50 litres is 88 pints, and there'll be some duff in the very bottom (not to mention spillage), I think I've been served "pints" there several times...
Exactly my point I stress. Landlord reckoned 100 pints = 50 litres????There are 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who do not. :doh:0 -

Except in this case, it (supposedly) indicates accuracy (and also gives you centimetres rather than decimetres. Theoretically 3.7 could be anything from 3.65 to 3.7499 recurring, whereas 3.70 is meant to be somewhere between 3.695 and 3.70499 recurring.IANAL etc.0 -
