sorry Jim lol.
The british system of weight is as follows
16 ounces equals 1 pound
14 pounds equals 1 stone which is what we are weighed in.When rob was diagnosed he was 15 stone,and when he died he was about 9 stone.
Now we are a part of the European community,the A.. H.... in brussels are trying to get us to convert to metric which means using Kilogrammes..It is now illegal to sell food in pounds and ounces and petrol in gallons,or to use feet and inches for distance and height,but there is a hardcore of the old school who refuse to conform to this crap.I will always be 5 foot 6 inches tall and weigh**stones,and i will always buy my potatoes in pounds lol.
