Stones are the Fahrenheit of weight. Useful for the human body but fuck all else.

For anyone confused, British people would generally use tonnes (or tons, but maybe not know the difference exactly) and miles.

Or about 3 double-decker buses for the length of 171 footy pitches.

That's not dimensionally correct! Double-decker bus is a unit of length, and footy pitch is too prosaic to be an approved unit: https://www.theregister.com/bootnotes/2026/05/31/the-reg-onl...

It's a shame it's not about area then at least we could agree on Wales as a unit.

It's not too prosaic, it's just too imprecise. There is no standard size, and some regulations even allow a range of sizes.

to clarify for those of a nautical bent - that's about half a blue whale for about 4/5ths of a dozen nautical miles
