the brits

I dont understand the British. They came, saw, conquered etc and left us with the metric system. So most, if not all the colonies are using the metric system. SO could somebody please explain to me the hell the British work in stones and or pounds . And how much is a stone anyway? The Brits also use miles instead of kilometers.

Do they know something we dont? Maybe the metric system is crap, a hoax, a farce. Or only good for the help :P

  • A stone is just over 6 kgs. It took me the whole three months I've been here to figure that out, and it was a south african who told me. Go figure!

  • When people in Britain want to buy a pet, they go to a pet shop. If they want to buy a pet shop, they go to a pet shop shop. If they want to buy a pet shop shop, well, they're just being silly.
    Its no wonder they have a weird way of measuring stuff.
