As a kid on a day trip I noticed that the coach was marked "Length 30 feet"
and it has stuck with me ever since as a point of reference - 30 feet is the
length of a 1950s motor coach. Similarly I remember that the length of a
1960s Rolls Royce saloon was 17 feet!
Incidentally, I think that either fifty feet or its metric equivalent is a
meaningless figure to a T20!
