Metric Schmetric

The Mail on Sunday (it was in the pub alright?) criticises the BBC for giving the weights of the teams in kilograms rather than stones. However it does it with this sub-headline:

"Both rugby teams are British, the 4.5 million viewers are British.. so why does the BBC insist on weighing the players in kilograms?"

Surely that should have read "four and a half million" - or possibly 375,000 dozen.
