Yes it is but what is the 'name' used for 22 yards?

Trish posted her answer whilst I started posting this answer. (so I have edited it )

How does it tie-in with an earlier question re acre?

This was one 'interesting' fact that I didn't know I knew ie the length of a cricket pitch ties in with the size of an acre..

I may be being a bit thick here :b but how does the length of a cricket pitch (22yds) tie in with the length of an acre (220 yds or one furlong)? :blink: What was wrong with my answer that the name used for 22 yds is a chain? You are confusing me!! :unsure: :wacko: :sweating:

No you're not being thick - It was me as I didn't explain very well sorry
