Geoff:
Being in pedantic mood, the tables we were taught were:
12 inches = 3 foot
3 feet = 1 yard
22 yards = 1 chain
10 chains = 1 furlong
8 furlongs = 1 mile

In practice, the general usage is:
12 inches = 1 yard
5280 feet = 1760 yards = 1 mile
::::::::::::::::::::::

They taught you 12 inches was 3 feet or 1 yard??? I thought it was a typo,
but you said it twice.
12 inches = 1 foot 
3 feet (36 inches) = 1 yard 

I'm still thinking you had a brain glitch :-D
