I thought it was common to quote weight in stone in the UK?

I was thinking of 5lb of potatoes, 1/2 lb of cheese when I was typing.

Yes body weight is usually stone and fractions, or stone and pounds. I expect everyone over 15 knows their weight in stone. I doubt most of them know how many pounds in a stone any more! :)
