Brits - how much is a \"stone\"
I have never had that explained to me. I was talking today with a importer and he told me a package weighed about what he did, in "stone" (think it was like 18, he is a big guy). I realized I had no idea how much that was.
On the other side of the coin, tell somebody from Europe that a part "is about 11/16ths" and listen to them blow a gasket. I nearly fell out laughing one time when a friend was ordering a part from Ducati, I could hear the Italian guy screaming at him on the phone "Amercia HAS to convert to metric, you are behind the rest of the world!!!"
Told him next time to order in cubits.
