14 lbs equals one stone. Over here they in the same family of measurement as pounds, inches and feet (called in Britain imperial but I don't suppose it's called that in the U.S). So that's why in cop shows they say the suspect was 200 pounds and not 14 and-a-bit stones. Ah!. Do Australians have stones?
