Why UK Uses Stones

Stone has been used in Britain since the 1300s for weighing goods and livestock. The imperial system standardized 1 stone = 14 pounds in 1389. Despite UK officially adopting metric system in 1965 for trade, stones remain dominant for body weight due to cultural tradition. Most UK bathroom scales show both stones/pounds and kilograms. NHS uses both units in health guidance. Only UK and Ireland use stones regularly - rest of world uses kilograms exclusively for body weight.
