If you go to a budget stationers you can buy 6 inch rules for about 20p. cut it up with a hacksaw in to 2 inch lengths.Cover the backs with white insulating tape so you can see the scale.Keep one in your wallet.BINGO!
Coins are of a standard size and are very useful for this purpose.Also useful to keep a dab of bluetack in your pocket !
