Dec 30, 2004 06:33 pm One Kilo is the same as 0.157473 stone
you don't work with kilo's do you?
Dec 30, 2004 06:39 pm Well I have, probably in more than one sense, but I don't know bout the lad upstairs!
But thanks!
So next I wonder if there is any relationship between stones and pounds, like maybe something evenly divisible? Probably too much to hope for.
Dec 30, 2004 08:09 pm Aye - 14lbs i.e. 14 pounds is 1 stone.
There ye go Walt..ask and ye shall receive!!
Nae worries.
Hope that helps somewaht.

Dec 30, 2004 08:12 pm Oh Coco, you are good!
The poor lad was confused as all get out. As was I and my wife. Great web site however through the BBC. Realy cool quizes on all kinds of science related topics. Learned in a hurry what I don't know....besides the weight of a stone!
Dec 30, 2004 08:27 pm Oh, just got commisioned by Mrs. Walt.
[size=6]THANK YOU COCO[/size]
from Mrs. Walt
Dec 30, 2004 09:00 pm Nae worries...tis the season of good will n'all.
I have the inverse problem..I have zero concept of kilos etc. Pounds and ounces is what I work in or relative terms i.e. gez that bus is heavy like - heavy as my mother-in-law hehehehe!!!
All the best...
Coco.
