Chinese authorities have told people weighing less than 50 kilograms (7st 9lbs)
I’m sorry, is a news article referencing stones as a unit of weight?
I know the world has been going backwards in the past decade, but did we really just go back to the 1600s?
It’s a chiefly British way of measuring body weight. 1 st = 14 lbs, so 7 st 9 lbs = 107 lbs. Though honestly 50kg is closer to 7 st 12 lbs.
And I thought Americans were bad with arbitrary values (yeah it’s probably rooted in something…. From 400 years ago)
I would assume then that it’s a Hong Kong thing.
Is it China, or is it Memorex?
