You know we use pounds as a weight measurement too, right?

Some countries use imperial measurements, others metric, but the UK enjoys both.

Does UK not use stone as a measurement?

Only older people. I know of none under 50 using it still. Most use kg from my experience these days

I'm 38 and I use stone because that's what I was taught as a kid. Metric for all other weights though.

Do you think in whole stone, or fractions? It seems a rather large unit

Stone then pounds eg 11 stone 8.
