In Australia our imperial before the metric s _hit was stones and pounds. A stone is 14 pounds. So someone who was 12 stone 5 is 173 pounds. Straight pounds has never been used in Australia. So if some footballer is real heavy at 130 Kg the media will say ...if you don't know how heavy that is, he is 20 stone 6.
I think the American ton is 2000 pounds and metric ton 2200 pounds. Imperial in Australia is 2240 pounds. We used to have Hundredweight (cwt) and 20 to the ton, 112 pounds.
Our gallon is 4.545 litres but I think the American gallon is about 3.5 litres
