Question: Which countries use the measurement of stones, rather than pounds or kilos?
....I've never even heard of stones and everyone on Y!A seems to use the measurement.

Answers:

They are from the UK. A stone is equal to 14 lbs.



The UK and Ireland use stones but generally only as a measure of the weight of a person or animal anything else is measured in grams and kilogrammes as most people under the age of forty use metric measurements.
