its a measurement of weight, there's 14 pounds in a stone. I think 5-6 kilograms is equal to one stone but I'm not too sure :D

You as an Ameican dscribe a peron's weight just in pounds.A stone is our unit of weight measurement equal to 14 pounds.
Where you would decribe somebody as weighing say, 150 pounds, we would describe that weight as 10 stone and 10 pounds.

the UK version of weight conversion ie, pounds / stones
or when measuring ------ inches / feet
on a road ----- yards / miles
