      About as long as that dinosaur’s neck.

    It had an unusually long neck and measured up to 20m (66ft) - roughly the length of a cricket pitch.

    Seems they’re covering metric, imperial and sports field based measurements; The holy trinity of distance measuring.

      Beer and milk measured in pints but no other liquids are.
