Are you a skinny prick, or a fat wanker?
Fat people DISGUST me, both on a visual and moral level.

Everyone I would have thought, or am I that out of touch?
It is a struggle getting used to these pounds and pence, I have to admit. Give me my shillings, D and half crowns any day of the week...

Probably.
I can't remember the last time I weighed myself using pounds and stones but it must be at least 15 years ago. I've belonged to three gyms and they'll weighed in kilos and every time I've been weighed at hospitals/doctors (and this is going back 25 years) I've been weighed in kilos. Do you even get scales that weigh in pounds and stones these days?
I was at school in the 60s/70s and we conducted all our experiments in kilos - nothing was weighed in pounds. I agree that it took a while for metric to filter its way into everyday life but we even buy our vegetables in kilos these days.

11 Stone 7 at the moment.
11 stone 10 lbs at present
No idea whatsoever what that equates to in kilos, I only ever weigh myself in stones and lbs.

But how?
As I said it's years since I've seen a scales in Imperial. And I can't believe that a doctor would weigh you in stones/pounds, metric has been the standard in the health service since the 70s.
I'm not particularly bothered one way or the other as I learned both and if a scales used stones, then that's what I'd use but there aren't many about. It does seem that people have gone out of their way (no pun intended) to use old measures.

I honestly don't know anyone who weighs themselves in kilos.
With my bathroom scales.

None of your business,

Likewise.
Whenever I have a conversation about people's weight in any context, with any person (well, any British person at least, the Seps use lbs), it's conducted in terms of stones and lbs, not kilos.
In boxing, official weights are always taken, recorded and announced in stones and lbs (with the US variant mentioned above use over there), never in kilos.
I don't think that, in everyday life, people are as metric as you seem to believe. Whenever I'm asked my height, I always reply in feet and inches, I've no idea exactly what it equates to in metres and centimetres (1m 90-something, I'd guess)
82 kgs.

I'm about 17 1/2 stone of pure muscle.
as am i...almost
You clearly aren't looking very hard. A quick search on their respective websites has revealed that virtually every set of scales sold by both Woolworths and Argos has a dual dial weighing in both imperial and metric measurements, even the £2.99 cheapo jobby.

They upped my dose of BP pills and my weight has shot up
I wouldnt mind but my only vice is the occasional bottle of wine, I dont eat crap, my missus makes my rolls on a lunchtime, i eat loads of fruit and veg, and we never ever fry anything. Its only when I go to footy I have the occasional burger!
Its bloody annoying( and mildly worrying)
