      The inch is 3 grains of barley of course! At least the kind of barley they had In the 14th century. Alternatively the length of 12 poppy seeds in a line. You probably have lots of those lying around your house right?

      The foot is about the size of a clown shoe, duh!

      And the mile is about the length of 1000 paces from a malnourished roman soldier

      And inch is the length of a finger between knuckles, a foot is the obvious and a yard is the length of my stride
