Being a New Zealander over 30, I can give my weight in stones and kilos. I wouldn't have the faintest idea what I weigh in pounds (without doing the sums). I would expect pretty much every other kiwi my age and up to be in the same boat (although some, like my mother, don't operate in kilos for their own weight).
