A British ton has 2240 pounds..
or 20 CWT (hundred weight)
112 pounds make 1 CWT
14 pounds make 1 stone..
:)
Thank you, you have greatly increased my knowledge. I lived in England for several years and only knew that 1 stone = 14 pounds. I didn’t know the hundredweight/ton part.
I’ll bet you would be a big plus on a trivia team ...
