In the UK the unit for measuring distance in the mile. All our road signs show the distance to places in miles. The speedometers in our cars tell us how fast we are going in miles per hour. But does the BBC express distances in its news reports in miles. You guessed it - NO - it has to use kilometers.

I wonder if, in those countries that actually use kilometers as the measurement for distance, the state broadcaster expresses distances in their news reports in miles? Of course they bloody don't. It is only the self-serving, up-their-own-backsides, anti-British muppets that work for the BBC who try to be clever and express a unit of measurement in something other than that used by the people who are forced, through threat of jail, to pay for the BBC.

Listen BBC - it is not big and it is not clever. Britain uses miles, and you should too. If you have reporters, sub editors, editors who are not happy about that, tell them to bugger off somewhere where they can use kilometers.
