even the beeb is still clinging to imperial units sometimes...

/look brits, I have to take shots where I can because I live in near the smouldering hellscape that is gangland portland, and I'm barely hanging on, the sound of the frogs is deafening

Yeah I don't really know what I weigh because my stupid bathroom scales tell me it in stone. And that's my excuse for being a fat bastard, bathroom scales fault and nothing else.

Stones can be all kinds of sizes and weights.

I saw a few videos on youtube about growing those big AF vegetables. It was a super interesting to dive into that topic for a bit because there are so many little things that play into growing them!
