Helpful British website for weight conversions

[Contratrombone64]

Being a resident of an international forum has its challenges occasionally, especially when trying to get my head around pounds as a unit of weight. We got rid of pounds and stones in the 1970s and now I'm fully conversant with kilograms.

For what it's worth, I weight a hefty 116 kilograms which is a little over 18 stone or 252 pounds.

This website is extremeley handy for those of you needing to know such nonsense:

Hi David, you may find this one more comprehensive, it covers just about every conversion possible, weight, mass, area, liquid measures, currency conversions, pressure, volume, velocity, time, and also includes loan/mortgage calculations, compound interest, Body mass index and roman numerals.

Even copes with English and US gallons.

I still think in feet and inches. It makes more sense to me. Mind you I may start thinking of my weight in kilos. It is a smaller number.

You can also simply type in the units you want to convert in google.

For example: type in 2 metres in inches, then press search and you get 2 metres=78.74 inches. Or knots in yards, Celcius in Fahrenheit and so on.

I have no idea how tall I am in metres, still refer to myself as six foot one.
