I went to replace something that had been in the house when we bought it in 1973.
So I asked if they had an Imperial size ... Wondering if they would have such a thing.
Surprised to learn that they are
all
still Imperial. Thought everything was Metric now (except possibly pints of milk which are confusingly sold in both).
So what did I buy?

What would have been left in the house that had to be replaced with the same size? Hmmm...how about a door?

No.
I carried it to the shop to check the new one. (That narrows it down a bit)

It does have something in common with a door though. Which leads to it needing to be the right size.

No.
Only thing in common with a door is that it has to fit into something exactly.

Re: What was I buying?
door frame? It's not something you can carry around to see if you can get an exact match (isn't that why a tape measure comes in handy) so the only other thing I can think of is a door hinge or a pane of glass in a door? But I'm sure both don't really need to be in imperial measurements so I'm a little stumped.
Re: What was I buying?
The old one got stuck and when I pulled it out the middle came out, making it utterly useless.

I've been making do with a small spice tub which is the same diameter. (So they haven't gone metric either)

Door for an Aga or Rayburn, or one of the lids?
Re: What was I buying?
a light fitting perhaps
