Hand baggage in british airways?

How particular are British Airways in case of the size of the hand baggage? the size mentioned on the website is 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (22in x 18in x 10in). Will the be tolerant for a variation in height of about 10%? I am flying on Sunday from Bangalore to London and this being my first international flight I am a bit paranoid.. Have carried the same bag in domestic with no problems.

    I've seen people on international flights with BA that had carry on items that appeared to exceed the published limits. On the international flights with larger planes, they tend to be more tolerant within reason. On full flights, they may ask you to gate check your carry on, but that really isn't a problem.
