Easier for you to visualize maybe but for me, no idea what 10s 6 means or
looks like. You tell me 130lbs and I can easily visualize that, especially
if I know the persons height. It's all relative to what you are used too.

Geoff:
Yes, we do have bathroom scales which read in stones and I don't recall
seeing 
one over here which reads in pounds. It is easier a darn sight easier to
visualise
the physical size of someone who says they are 10 stone 6 rather than
someone 
who is 130 lbs. It's only used in that context.
