I think it fell out of use here because it was only found in Agatha Christie 
novels, and nobody remembered the conversion tables.   

If I remember my conversion tables correctly, 1 fortnight plus six farthings 
divided by 2 Imperial pints equals 6 troy ounces.  We'll just have to weight 
for Andrew to get back to the list.

Sorry.
