Eighty-six is one of those awkward in-between readings I come across all the time: a digital scale that speaks kilograms shows 86, and the person standing on it thinks in stone. The stone answer is thirteen and a bit over half, and the "bit" works out at 8 lb. It is also a weight people land on when a few kilos have crept on since they last checked, which is why I always tell readers to weigh at the same time of day for a fair comparison.

At 86 kg the height effect is easy to see. At 5ft 6in the BMI is 30.5, at 5ft 8in it is 28.7, and at 6ft 2in it is 24.3. Same weight, three different readings, which is why I never trust a single number without a height next to it.
