My mother used to work for the Leipzig Fair agency. Every year she was given a stollen flown in from East Germany. Gorgeous, and much drier that the stuff we get in shops nowadays.

Re: Weighing machine

Why doesn't anyone here use kg? That's what hospitals and doctors use. Not to mention my children, grand children, and even grocery stores.

Re: Weighing machine

We were taught Kg, metres etc at school. But imperial is so much easier.

Scot, that will only prove/disprove the accuracy at 56lbs. What you should be doing is checking the accuracy near the bottom end at about 10% of maximum load, then again at around 50%, and again at about 90% of the maximum.

So were we but it wasn't until the dreaded EU (hawk, spit ) forced us to adopt the metric system for weights and measures generally, that most people really became aware of it. I'm happy using both systems but what floors me mentally is converting pounds weight to stones.

AnnieS suggests otherwise. Correctly so.
