Dont the British weigh things with rocks or some dumb shit?
They're actually finely calibrated stones. For instance, my weight is 13 stones and a packet of gravel.
I lost twelve gravel and a teaspoon of sand this week.
I found them. They are in my shoes. Do you want them back?
Beard, ma'am? Finest in Jerusalem
13 stone and and a pywackett of gravel or twelve stone and three hands?
Use your words, sheesh.
