No, we don't, we say go the extra mile.

Am I agreeing/disagreeing on the fact that you wonder if they say so?

Well we use kilometers in South Africa and we still say going the extra mile.

And no, even if we did, we'd say 'kilometre because' we are British.

we use miles :)

@LastOneStanding we use miles :)

I hate when British people call me a "dirty American"

I doubt it, because they don't use kilometers... Also "going the extra mile" is a figure of speech, so people would continue saying even if they did use kilometers, because they'd be used to it...

We don't use kilometers in england...

I am honestly suprised, and dissapointed in myself for being so dumb.

that's so wierd! If you use centimers why not switch to kilometers? Crazy fools. At least we Americans are entirely mixed up with miles and inches, not stuck in the middle! ;)

we don't measure by kilometers but miles. so we do say, going the extra mile. it's even a moto for an advert.

Going the extra kilometer is too long, going the extra mile is just right

@freddo Going the extra kilometer is too long, going the extra mile is just right

That's kind of ironic, since a mile is 1.6 kilometres xD
