    Either way my comment stands.
    Indeed, sounds like a load of bollox.

            Like the old joke...

            Fella goes to hardware shop, asks for some two-by-two....

            "Oh, it's all metric nowadays, no two-by-two anymore, you have to ask for 50mm square now..."

            "Ok, I'll have some 50mm square, how much is that then?"

            "10 bob a foot, Sir......"

            Shall I just delete this?

              6mm is the new standard thickness, make sure that the glass is toughened. Most glass suppliers have a machine for toughening glass.

                  It's been demonstrated that people are more agitated due to global warming, so probably causing all this sloppiness. I would reduce your carbon footprint.
