Yes, you're making sense. But no, I don't believe the British coastline is infinite. It's very, very long, surely, and would take a very, very long time to measure. Just not an "infinite" amount of time.

On a similar note, I just read that the German lunatic Otto Leuben once bet that he could turn a deck of cards in a specific order. He turned cards every day, ten hours a day, for ten years before he succeeded, after about four-and-a-half million tries.
