10 3/8" would look silly on the box and 10.4" is close enough the same.

Why would 10
3/8 " Look silly, thats the proper way, what next loose the pound to the euro
Tho maybe we should have done that years ago, would probably be about 1/3 better off than the country is at the moment!

I for one find it easier to work in a base 10 system.
We changed our currency to Decimal back when I was in P3, thank fuck - trying to work from 12 pennies in the shilling, 20 shillings in the pound, 21 shillings in the Guinnea, etc is too much like hard work.
I never understood quite why we decided to persist with Inches and Pounds (weight)
