Am i missing something here? I'm after buying some gloves and would like the right size. I think their size chart might be wrong.

I thought i had quite big hands. More long than shovel like,but if the chart is correct then some folk must have hands that are huge. Mine are 3 and 3 quarter inches wide and 10 inch long,if you add the wrist as above. Does anyone really have 9 inch wide hands?

I can't believe I've just spent 15 minutes searching for a tape measure to reply to this thread...

Mine are 9 inches.

Just finished wrapping all my Xmas pressies, and I'm feeling smug. I'm normally a "leave it till Xmas Eve and who's used all the blooming sellotape" kind of guy.

It'll probably be vile. The cake I mean.

It was an 'interesting' flavour, not to my taste.

Wide,or long?

So, anyway, can a hand be a foot?

Only two days until bin day for me. blue lidded recycling one for me this week.

Bin day (topped up with bubble wrap), bin emptied, bin back in place.

I have further to walk to the kerb than those opposite.

Both of them!!

Arrgh!
Wide. I didn't measure length. Was I supposed to?

 

[Slioch]

Yes, they were both the same.
I see yours were quite different circumferences though? Did you have an unfortunate accident involving a steamroller when you were a child or something?

Real men leave it until Christmas Day morning when only petrol stations are open.

Hope they’ve got some Ferrero Rocher left as I think the misses will get a bit crinkly lipped if she gets BBQ Briquettes again this year.

My sellotape is too old to stick properly. It can't be much more than 6 years old.

Been stored in the light. That or it was really cheap stuff to begin with.
I've some from 30 years ago that still sticks. Six years is nothing.

I'm guessing something to do with opposable thumbs. I thought only hands could be used for tools, a chimp would therefore have 4 hands would it? If we do a handstand we call it walking on our hands. But then you see amputees who can do amazing things with their feet, so do their feet become hands when they can do skilled things with them? So in summary, I've got no idea really

And it appears someone has not done much present wrapping over the last 6 years
