No you can't... we are British, therefore it's 12 inches
BTW, there was no going anywhere for me, come to think about it, I still can't go anywhere as I live in the mountains and surrounded by a hill to get out of my road, and lot's of downward hills to get out of the mountains. It's great fun for sledging though
I do need to go to the shop though... I haven't had a Cadbury's Wispa for 3 days now
