Hi guys, have gotten a new scales, and am unsure of how to read it. Its a Sanitas one, clear glass and you tap on it to activate it. Its set for stones + pounds. What I'm wondering if its giving me a reading of 11.26, is that 11stone 2pounds and 6/10's of a pound, - or - is it 11stone and 26/of a stone, which would be around 11stone and 3 and a half pounds. Can anyone explain it to me? I cant find the instruction leaflet, so must have thrown it out. Thanks in advance.

    I recently bought a digital scale, too. I don't know the brand name, but mine has a switch on the bottom that allows me to choose, lbs, stone, or metric. I choose pounds. Look and see if you have a switch, too.
