Not sure for values of your weight you provided (stone - is that kind of slang, equal to feet of what? Sorry that I don't understand...)
My weight is 80kg (naked :D)

Where are you located Erny ? not in the UK i would guess. 1Kg = 2.2lbs(pounds), 14lbs = 1stone, (old british weight measurement). Personally i can't get to grips with a persons weight in kg, too long in the tooth  :'( 80kg means nothing to me, i have to convert it to stones to know if you are a lightweight or a fat b*stard like me (16stone)

I live in Slovakia, we use metric system only. I knew about pounds, pint, gallon, ounce, inch, foot, yard, mile.. But never heard about stone. For me stone = rock

But now I learned something new - thanks for that!
Looking at wiki right now

Just to add to the fun do not forget. The US gallon is used in the United States and is equal to exactly 231 cubic inches or 3.785411784 litres The Imperial gallon or UK gallon is used in the United Kingdom and is equal to approximately 277.42 cubic inches. Its exact value is defined as 4.54609 litres One imperial gallon is approximately 1.2 US gallons.

Erny:
Wau again something new until now for me gallon was just gallon, did not know there 2 gallons existing

Bryanj:
The US gallon is actualy more logical as they say 16 ounces to a pound so 16 fluid ounces to a pint whereas UK say 20 fluid ounces to a pint but still 8 pints to a gallon so bigger gallons.

Andych:
Oh dont get me started on different variations.. I sell pumps (irrigation pumps...big ones) and the mixture of standards I get as enquiries... a bore will give X Gallons per hour while they want X litres per day at X feet of head and they have X metres of pipework... Problem is most Cocky's (Farmers here in Aus) are older guys and still live in the pre-metric age.. or they mix and match.

I must admit though.. I cant visualise 173cm but I can 5Ft 8in... but then I can also visualise 85 or 90kg but have no idea what that would be in stone.. so I guess I am just as bad.. :)
