I'll have you know I'm now only 12 stone! Give me three months of running, weights and the wall and I'll be climbing V0 again and no mistake.

You fat wabber. That's only a stone less than me. I am currently at my lowest weight this millenium.

Moving up North is the way forward.

Give us a bell when you've lost enough padding to get on some trad again

Fiend I'll be up North around the 28 May so if you fancy some trad drop me a pm or call.

It's a very simple system Nibs $:-\$
16 drams = 1 ounce
16 ounces = 1 pound
7 pounds = 1 clove
14 pounds = 1 stone
28 pounds = 1 tod
112 pounds = 1 hundredweight
364 pounds = 1 sack
2240 pounds = 1 ton
2 stones = 1 quarter
4 quarters = 1 hundredweight
20 hundredweight = 1 ton

Although, not to be confused with the Troy, London, Wool or Tower Pounds which are all a little different.

2.2lb= 1kg
1 Stone= 6.35kg
Not sure where Webbo got that 0.4g from? Based on SI units 1 stone is equal to 6.35029318 kilogram.

webbo · May 17, 2007, 12:09:52 pm

from my diary
1 pound=0.4536
1 kilogram=2.2046
i then did a sum on a bit of paper.

GCW · May 17, 2007, 12:12:25 pm

Oh well, what's 0.10682g between UKB colleagues?

Nibile · May 17, 2007, 12:31:41 pm

it must be a nightmare to be in primary school in UK!!!

Johnny Brown · May 17, 2007, 01:15:06 pm

They don't teach any of that stuff at school, we pick it up at home!

2 stones = 1 quarter

Its been a while since I had cause to buy any weed but I don't rember getting that much when I used to ask for a 'quarter'!

GCW · May 17, 2007, 01:58:54 pm

True.
I always end up asking for a quarter whenever I'm in a sweet shop. 250g just doesn't sound right.

widdop · May 17, 2007, 11:13:05 pm

never mind the sweets ,when do we all get a pint to celebrate the house sale
