Is this another Telegraph error? I'm pretty sure that SI base unit of mass equal to approximately 2,205 lb is a "tonne", but the only extant SI unit that fits is kilogram. If it's another Freudian slip by Telegraph compilers, is anyone else getting a bit fed-up with the level of proof-reading?

1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds
Maybe they put in a , instead of a . ?

Thank you. Hadn't thought of that (& obviously, neither did they...)
the clue is 2.205 lb in my paper
The SI unit for 2205 lbs is a Megagram
My copy has a point, not a comma...
Kilogram.I used a converter on my mobile.A megagram would be a hell of a bigger.
I think the ink had smudged on the decimal point on your copy.
