Never thought of that; the fact you don't use hundredweights and stones. We weigh human bodies in stones (14 pound to the stone) and pounds not just pounds as you do. Since we went into the European Union though they want everything to go metric. The latest is that they want us to buy eggs by weight (grams) not by the dozen or half dozen. Maps are the oddest as heights are in metres and depths in the sea are still given in feet.

Getting off topic. Sorry! Lagopus.....
