Dayabay,
This a useful site for people just learning these thing, but I think some people may find the "stone" weight confusing as described.

Unless they've changed it since I left, (and I'm sure I'll be told if they have) the measurement goes like this

1 stone=14lbs.
14lbs=1 stone

It doesn't matter whether it is a stone of coal, or a stone of feathers, it is still 14lbs

Also, another name for a swede is a rutabagga. smile
