well, its just that Who were part of the Brit Invasion, so, I thought it would be appropriate to say UK. But good point you have there...

We use miles over here for the majority of things. The metric system is mostly used in scientific calculations and such rather than everyday things.

Except, not. Seeing as miles is the British system. How does this have so many YYAs?

I have no idea how this got homepaged. Its one of those posts that you made a long time ago and didn't really think about it but then later you thought "wtf am I talking about?"

By this logic, saying I can see Buckingham Palace would be I can see McDonalds in America.

The UK uses miles for most things, apart from in maths at school from what I've seen, and science.
