People are still weighed in stone, with 1 stone equalling 14 pounds.

It depends where you're looking. The NHS has been into kilos since at least
when my elder daughter was born in 1986.

I don't recall ever having domestic scales in stone (always pounds), but
perhaps those huge coin-in-the-slot ones in public places were stones
and pounds. The growth charts my children had in the early 90's (they
were weighed regularly and the results put in a little red folder) from
the NHS were bi-lingual, in both Kg and Lbs.
