I think stones for weight is dying out here. Miles per hour, no, that's not going anywhere, nor pints of beer, but it's hard to think of other imperial measure

I think stones for weight is dying out here.
Miles per hour, no, that's not going anywhere, nor pints of beer, but it's hard to think of other imperial measurements in day to day use.
(and those are real pints, 26% larger than US 'pints'! So it just goes to show the imperial system isn't even consistent across countries. Yet another reason that the ISU/SI is superior...)
