If the US just fully adopted what is the international standard and finally did away with a dead end system of measure, there wouldn't be a problem.....
Even the Poms finally gave up, and they invented it.... :monkey:


and now I've lobbed that grenade, I'll just exit, stage right :greenchainsaw:

But its an ENGLISH measurement that we use here. Not 'Merican. Miles, pounds, inches, feet, and er, what was that mixup that caused the Mars lander to scream into the surface? One group was using SI, and the other metric? Even using non-English measurements there are discrepancies.

So, what does the Dolmar 420 weight in stones?

Dolmar PS-350: Net weight 4.7 kg - 0.740123469601822 Stone
Dolmar PS-420: Net weight 4.8 kg - 0.755870777465691 Stone



Dolmar PS-350: Net weight 10.3 lb - 0.735714285714286 Stone
Dolmar PS-420: Net weight 10.6 lb - 0.757142857142857 Stone

BUT.... the expression is Stone - LB... So as the PS-350 is less than 14lb, the correct expression is 0 Stone 10 lb 4.8 oz... or.. skip the "stone part" so it's still 10 lb 4.8 oz...


Once, when I was much younger, I was 11 Stone 4....
