Or in person when they ask for an A4 size envelope...

The UK system mentioned above uses "A" values for paper and "C" values for envelopes, the envelopes being slightly larger than the equivilant sheets of paper...

Of course there is then the ye olde foolscap size, and those who want sheets of A4 equivilent but the american version (shorter but wider than standard UK A4).

Sorry, work in a stationers, I'll stop myself before I start going on about the merits of various pen company products...other than that US manufactored pens are SOOOOOOOO much better than their European or Japanese competition...

Sad, an't I!

Cheers,

Matt Tope.

Try dealing with a customer whose giving you measurements as
"yea high" and "about this long"...and it's a phone
conversation.
