Pale Skinny Vegan Feb 2023 2:22pm, 10 Feb 2023 346 posts	0 Pale Skinny Vegan Just catching up on the metric/imperial discussion... Distances on railways are still measured in miles and chains from the terminus (usually London). Sometimes you can see something like "M120 C5" painted on them. I prefer metric for distances because; 1. OS maps are metric 2. I drive an ex-military Land Rover with a metric speedo 3. All modern trucks have got metric tachographs 4. On multinational internet forums where you're discussing distances cycled, it's easier if everyone uses the same system. I prefer metric for bodyweight because sports with weight classes like weightlifting and judo use it and it's easier to calculate weight lifted as a percentage of bodyweight if they are both in kg.
