    I concur... and having passed her while she was out jogging, I can honestly say she did not look at all healthy!!!

    Methinks a bit too much do as I say, not do as I do! :huh:

    UK went metric over 10 years ago ie g, kg , cm, m etc to comply with europe but we've been brought up with imperial (st, lbs, inches, feet)so old habits die hard so majority still use old measurement.

    I was taught metric at school (80s) but then left and everyone was using imperial so got used to that.. I tend to use either one depending what its for.

    It just makes us Brits appear lighter. 14 stone sounds far better than 196lbs.

    ^^^^^ Love it!

    Its pre metric weight, i.e. in Australia we used to use stones and pounds then changed to metric years ago. :flowerforyou:
