The pies ref is to a football (soccer) chant. Thinking about it, its probably not made it across the Atlantic. Essentially it goes "Who ate all the pies? Who ate all the pies? You fat bastard, you fat bastard, you ate all the pies!" So I was being quite mean actually (oops) I would expect the pies in question to be savoury.
A stone is 14 pounds. I try to remember to translate but sometimes forget!
A unit of alcohol is 10ml of pure alcohol. Its more difficult to translate because from what I remember there are different measures served in the US.
1 pub measure of spirit = 1 unit
1 pub glass wine = 2 units
1 pint lager = 3 units
The recommended intake for a woman per week is 14 units and a man 21 units.
Will look through my pics & find some more for you.
