pound bag

[ladorada]

why pound?

[scotchollie]

Perhaps it's the weight of the bag?

One old pound = 14 ounces which = 2.2 kilos.

The answer may or may not be right but the figures certainly aren't.

16 ounces make a pound, which is less than half a kilogram. 0.454k to be precise.

Thanks Dzug - 14 pounds in a stone - and a post very late at night makes for mental confusion!
