Where can I get my height measured?

I know this sounds like a dumb question but I need an accurate measurement. I don't want to go to the doctor because it seems like a petty reason to see him + the long waiting time ( :adore:

NHS).

I should add that all I have is a 30cm ruler, no measuring tape.

get someone to mark on a wall with a pencil where the top of your head is

get your 30cm ruler and measure in increments of 30cm until you reach your height

Go to Boots, near the pharmacy section in a larger store is usually an infrared laser height measurement machine, they are usually accurate to 2 decimal places. You will have to pay, but it shouldn't be more than £2.
