One kilogram is 2.204622622 pounds (avoirdupois), so:
24.1 x 2.204622622 = 53.13140519 lbs
or 53 lbs, 2 oz.

Put "usenet" in the subject-line if you want to mail me, otherwise it will
bounce.

Well as I did the calculation in my head without any outside help, webpages,
etc etc I think I done pretty good.

Multiply by 2.2 (or double it and add 10%) and you'll get 53 pounds, give or
take part of an ounce.
If you're wondering about that big sack of BC Bud stashed in the attic,
wonder no more: it's worth about the same as your house.

Thats the trouble with the UK. I can buy a *pint* of beer, but then the pub
has metric 35centilitre optics.
All my groceries are sold by the
gram/kilogram/millilitre/litre/centimetre/whatever, but then all the
roadsigns are in yards/miles.
I dont know how the airlines manage. I listen quite a bit to airband, they
talk about visibility distances in *metres* , and altitudes in *feet* . In
fact there was a very dangerous case of a metric imperial conversion cockup
in Canada a few years ago. The pilot ordered so many pounds of Jet-A fuel,
the airport had just gone over to metric, result the aircraft ran out of
fuel in mid-flight. There was a TV-movie made about it.
