You know we use pounds as a weight measurement too, right?

Some countries use imperial measurements, others metric, but the UK enjoys both.

How the eff do you gain 400 lbs?! That’s roughly 180kg!

the customary unit for body weight in the UK is, however, the stone https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=1+stone+%28unit%29

Yeah, and fractions of that stone? Pounds.

So like 10 stone 5 pounds.
