    One thing that surprised me in this thread is the use of stones- I would have assumed that like in England, the USA would use stones and ounces etc. One of the posts implied that this isn't the case. Can someone please comment on and clarify this- purely out of curousity

    They use ounces but not stones.

    Also in England we don't use ounces anymore, we use grams when it comes to small measurements like for food. Yet we use lbs and stones for weight. Miles for driving but metres for running. Pints at the pub and for milk, yet ml for all other liquids, except for petrol which is gallons. Honestly you can't win here.

    Cups confuse the hell out of me! Everything else I just type into google X = X ? and it'll automatically convert for you, no need to find charts or websites.
