Incidentally forgive my naivety but how is a 'Rod' measured ?


That's so cheap.

A Rod is actually a linear measurement of 5.5 yards. They really mean Square
Rods when they talk about allotment measurement but in my experience most
Council folk don't understand it all.
So a Sq Rod is 5.5 yards by 5.5 yards or 30.25 sq yards. 10 rods is
therefore 302.5 sq yards.

Ours now talks in Metric Lettings(??) which is 5 metres by 5 metres. (so 250
sq metres)
