Do English people use miles or km?

Okay, so the big question is: Do English people use miles or kilometers? Well, it's a bit of a mixed bag, actually!

Generally speaking, when you're driving around the UK, you're going to be seeing miles. Yep, miles are the main thing we use for road distances. Think about it, all the speed limits are in miles per hour, aren't they? I remember when I was learning to drive, constantly trying to convert kilometers to miles in my head just felt like a waste of time!

Now, Transport for London (TfL), they're a bit sneaky. I've heard they sometimes use kilometers internally, like for planning and stuff. But, and this is a big but, all the signs and info the public sees? Mostly miles. Why, oh why, can't we just pick one?!

And you know what? People have been asking TfL to show both miles and kilometers for ages! I mean, wouldn't that just make life easier for everyone, especially tourists? I suppose it's a whole thing with tradition and what people are used to. It's one of those quirks of living here, I guess!
