I don't like the look of my weight in pounds, Clay - in the UK we use stones-and-pounds where one stone = 14 pounds.
So for example a good few years ago I weighed 10 stone, rather than 140 pounds. That would be about 63 kilos. I can shop for, and cook, food in kilos, but for my own weight I think in stones and pounds; however my oncologist talks in kilos and so I had to use the little slider switch on my bathroom scales to get a nmber to tell him. It was a lot more than 63. 8-( Margery. ================================================= [email protected] in North Hertfordshire, UK ================================================= > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Clay Blackwell > Sent: Wednesday 12 January 2011 22:22 > To: Lora > Cc: Lorelei Halley; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [lace-chat] Re: [lace] English English > > I used to think how nice it would be to see my weight, > written in kilos, > not pounds!!!
