In London, it's common to measure ones weight in stones. Here's the conversion:
1 STONE = 14 POUNDS
Now, I weigh 8 stones. And as far as I can see, this is a great practice to adopt over the holidays because weight in pounds is a bit too exact. With stones, I can overindulge. This system allows for so much variation within each weight class, I could eat my way through the holidays without ever gaining a stone!
Did I mention that much of the UK is overweight?
