Terrible, really. I wonder if he's been on some kind of waiting list.

1 stone = 14 pounds per Google. I learn something new everyday.

I don’t think bariatric or any other surgery will help him unless he fixes his head. I’ve seen folks gain weight after initially losing it from the surgery.

14 lbs per stone

70x14=980lbs

That’s more than some horses.

If he walks the distance, he'll do fine.

How do those people get so fat? The sun comes up and shines in the window, and then there's chores to do. Chocolate, beer, and coffee are afternoon luxuries. Someone isn't doing daily chores.

He eats 20,000 calories of food a day - EIGHT TIMES the official adult male average of 2,500.
Paul scoffs three family-sized takeaways a night and wolfs down Sunday roasts like snacks.
He has spent much of the past eight years in bed

If he's been in bed, how's he getting all this food? Someone is bringing it to him, that's how. Why didn't they try to control his intake?

These kind of stories always make me ask, 'where do they get the money for all that food'? I make a pretty good salary and no way could I afford all the food that these super obese, HOUSEBOUND, folks eat. The food stamp allotment wouldn't be near enough to pay for all the food these people eat, so how do they do it?

70 stone equals 980 pounds (LB)

14 pounds to the stone...

112 pounds = one hundred weight...

the British ton = 20 cwt or hundred weight

2,240 pounds = one ton...

Wow That’s big. It ought to be a rule in that house or any house with one of these gigantic folks: Until you can walk to the store on your own, you’re getting salad. Meanwhile, we’re sound-proofing your room, so we don’t have to listen to the whining.
