I haven't needed the service for some time, but Home Depot and Lowe's
(DYI stores) would rip a panel of plywood to a specific size at no
charge the last time I needed that done. You pay for the full panel,
but the cut(s) are free.
A 4 x 8 plywood panel is about $50 at Home Depot.
It would seem that I have hit on a false friend - my dictionary
suggests I could have written "skirting board" (or "list" or "moulding)

Is "panel" incorrect English? Or merely imprecise?
"Panel" is not a term associated with a particular type of product in
the US. It would be understood to be a flat piece of wood used to
cover an opening. Hence, I guessed you purchased a sheet of plywood.
"Skirting board" is not unknown in the US, but the common term is "baseboard". If I Google "skirting board", I get images like
https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fplanetpropertyblog.co.uk%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F05%2F10-Contemporary-Modern-Skirting-Board-Ideas-For-Your-Home.png&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=9ab3d7eba151f598fc766f313df01c2eddf09f9667bba1f50e0767ecd1e1282e
If I Google "baseboard", I get the same images.
"Moulding" is a term for a decoratively milled strip of wood. Here,
one might purchase a plain baseboard and attach a strip of moulding
above it to achieve a particular look.
However, we also use "Crown Molding" to complement a room with a
baseboard. Crown molding is fitted where the wall meets the ceiling.
Confusingly, both "moulding" and "molding" are the spellings used.
If you purchased a piece of baseboard 5" high and 96" long for about
$20 at Home Depot, many stores would rip it to 4" high at no charge.
However, the store may offer only 2 free cuts, and usually people
order enough pieces to go around the room. There may be a charge if
several pieces must be ripped. Or, you can just slip the employee a
$5.00 or $10 bill for his effort and not be charged.
If just replacing a damaged baseboard, and need one ripped to a
particular height and cut to a particular length, there would not be a cutting charge.
BTW...I can only speak for the Home Depots I've been a customer of.
Some might have different rules or not offer cutting-to-order at all.

"Panel" is not a term associated with a particular type of product in
the US. It would be understood to be a flat piece of wood used to
cover an opening. Hence, I guessed you purchased a sheet of plywood.
"One meter" of plywood seems incongruous to me - I specified a linear measure, and your guess is basically two-dimensional.
I see now that I invited that interpretation by talking about a hole
"where a door once had been": The area of the door hole had already
been filled in, but the previous owners had left the join between
floor and what was now effectively wall bare, unlike the adjoining
pieces of wall, leaving a gap ("hole")
in the skirting board.
They had presumably had some piece of furniture against the wall,
but we didn't want that.

No; /-a/ or /-A/ depending, as far as I can tell, on the speakerrCOs age, probably
with some socioeconomic complications. The <ch> in Chile is the same as the sound in English.
As Bertel mentions, our "building markets" also have this kind of setup, usually with a fixed price per cut, regardless of how long the cut is.

I the past Chile was very much a tea-drinking country, along with Russia and Britain. When Pablo Neruda was a Chilean consular representative in Ceylon, as it then was, a British officer asked him what they did with all
the tea that they imported, thinking it might have some industrial or military use that they didn't know about. We drink it, said Neruda.
Some years ago some family members from Argentina came to visit. They brought a
calabas which is used for mat|-. So we learned how to drink mat|-.

We also learned that ll in Argentina is pronounced like "ch" in "Chile".
No; /-a/ or /-A/ depending, as far as I can tell, on the speakerrCOs age, probably
with some socioeconomic complications. The <ch> in Chile is the same as the sound in English.

Last time I had this done, it cost me 38,- DKK per cut.
That is extortionate.
Hasn't Hornbach moved into Denmark yet?
Peter Moylan's city is Newcastle, where one of my nephews was born
(his two brothers were born in Scone, almost next door for Australian
ideas of distances).
You have put us in alphabetical order of given names. Is that ordering
ever used in Denmark? I've only encountered it in Brazil and (once only, I think) in Portugal.

That's how the Contacts list in my phone is sorted.

So is mine (Android). It makes sense.

Well, the time-before-last it was 10,- DKK per cut, so I was a bit
surprised, but put it down to inflation. 20-odd years of it.

Google says no.
Mine too. The obvious way is to sort using the names one first thinks
of, be they first name, last name, nickname, or generic: Fred, Gromit, doctor, Boots [the chemist's], work [switchboard], g|<te, power cut, Her IndoorsrCa. I enter the whole name in the 'first name' field in order to force this.

That was a misleading 'agreement' - What you achieve by manipulation
is not the same as implying it is the default. [...]
