GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2019-12-12 03:21	What does the cwt mean?
dsl ◊ 2019-12-12 03:32	cwt = hundredweight = 112 pounds (not 100 pounds as might be expected) = one twentieth of a ton. So 10cwt = ½ton.
GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2019-12-12 18:12	Thank you! hundredweight means 112 pounds... so it's like a baker's dozen = 13.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2019-12-12 18:36	Well, not really. The British system had a bit more to it than that, but in order not to complicate things too much, we'll start with the ounce. One ounce is 28.3495 grams. Sixteen ounces make one pound. (Not money, one pound sterling is not a weight measure.) Fourteen pounds make one stone. Eight stones make one hundredweight, (112 pounds). Twenty hundredweights make one ton, (2240 pounds). This, plus the arcane system of pre-decimalisation money led to some really boring questions in school sums (you can't call it maths) lessons. Such as - "Calculate the value of two hundredweight five stone seven pounds eight ounces at one pound twelve shillings and tenpence ha'penny per pound." Was there, did that. It has taken me over half an hour to arrive at what I think is the answer --- £495 11 shillings and 9 pence three farthings. Anyone care to check it? -- Last edit: 2019-12-12 19:15:01

chicomarx ◊ 2019-12-12 19:04	johnfromstaffs a écrit Calculate the value of two hundredweight five stone seven pounds eight ounces at one pound twelve shillings and tenpence ha'penny per pound. The answer is 40 rods or one hogshead.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2019-12-12 19:10	chicomarx a écrit The answer is 40 rods or one hogshead. No, that's length and volume, no reference to weight.
dsl ◊ 2019-12-12 19:17	johnfromstaffs a écrit Eight stones make one hundredweight Eight stones make one slim. Twelve stones make one slightly overweight = one beer belly. Sixteen stones make one too fat for seats on public transport.

Sorry - I'm defrosting the freezer, and then I've got to put the bins out. After that I have to go and count the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike in case they've all gone to look for America.
