haggis Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 When I went to book kelpie to come down the lift today I was told I couldn't as her draft was too big! It transpired that someone had entered it on the CRT database in centimetres but called them inches They changed the database and let us down I got an email confirming the booking and it tells me that kelpie is 56 feet 12 inches long and 6 foot 3 inches wide!!

Haggis Sloppy/lazzy computer program, probably caused by converting from imperial to metric and back again ending up with something like 11.9 inches rounded to 12 but not actually 12 so..........
