The country went metric several years ago.
Weights and measures are all officially in metric, however the maternity hospitals continue to announce new births in pounds and ounces.
So, I guess we still weigh ourselves in Stones and Pounds.

We think in Stones and Pounds,therefore it is more comfortable to use them.We automatically can Weigh a Person by looking at them once we use Stones.
On Official occasions they sometimes prefer to weigh you in Kilo's, When I was in Hospital Eight Years ago ,The Mater in Eccles Street Dublin they weighted me in Kilo's. I said to the Nurse AH that is 11 1/2 Stone. She said what ,there is no Stones on this Scale but I said there is you can see them there.
I said to her I think in Stones,we have not got round to thinking in Metric yet. That is alright for Small things like a Kilo of Meat or Sugar but not for Heavy Things. I had lost 4 1/2 Stone by not eating or Drinking because of the Illness I had,Gall Bladder trouble.
So Officially were Metric for I think it is 10 Years,it is hard to change the habits of a Lifetime. Young People will be more inclined to think in Metric than People over 30.
