farthings in a stone

If you can detect a stone, it is probably not just a farthing.

Not sure....I shall have to take the lift to the ground floor and stand in the queue to find out. If they don't know, I'll get on my mobile or maybe look in the boot of my car. If the mobile is spotty, I shall have to use the phone box.

"How many shillings and farthings in a stone?"

I think the operative question here is "How many buckets of chicken in a hogshead?"

Reminds me of a friend who claimed that he weighed sixteen stones, a couple of rocks and a few pebbles.
