Huh? Who does use stone as a measure of 20?

Never heard of using stones for twenty. Of all the gall!

I still think of my weight in stones, 14 to the pound

Funny. In my part of Zild, we always had 14 pounds to the stone, but then who am I to argue?

the last legacy of my being part of NZ's transitional generation, like maverick, straddling the change from imperial to metric.

Does straddling the change hurt? I've heard it's murder on the haemorrhoids ...

I have never heard of stone being used to mean twenty before.

But, then, you repeat yourself. So do I. Frequently. Me too.
