They're actually finely calibrated stones. For instance, my weight is 13 stones and a packet of gravel.

I lost twelve gravel and a teaspoon of sand this week.

The British have a perfectly logical system that results in us buying fuel by the litre, measuring speed in miles per hour, and measuring fuel economy in miles per gallon. We are doing just fine thank you very much.

When I was at university, my friends and I used beer for currency. Somehow it was easier to say "you owe me two beers" than say "you owe me 100 kr"
