Puzzled.
Recently I had to replace my pantry floor, so I went onto the website of a local timber merchant and noticed that their floorboards were priced at £4.36 per metre. I ordered 12 metres, enough to do the pantry floor and another little job. When I went to pick up the floorboards they only charged me £3.75 per metre. A week later I need another 4 metres of floorboard for another little job, so I ordered 4 metres of the same floorboard from the same timber merchant. This time they only charged me £3.19 per metre.
Baffled.
The floorboards that I removed were 120mm in width (excluding the tongue). The new floorboards that I fitted were 115mm in width (excluding the tongue). I removed 4 floorboards, that is a total width of 480mm, the new floorboards had a total width of 460mm, and yet they fitted perfectly into the hole. I am baffled as to why there wasn’t a 20mm gap.

nope can't make sense of that based on what you describe.
