Sorry **Bosda** I should have converted the weight to pounds but all that multiplication just makes my brain hurt (I shouldn’t use stones for weight myself since we have been metric for eons, just weight never makes sense to me in kilos- and probably wouldn’t to you either).

Just for the record I wouldn’t know how to leet speak if required to do so at gunpoint.
