what unit of measurement do you usually measure distance in?
has to be either metres or millimetres for me, clive. wouldn’t be caught dead with a centimetre.
not miles?
(for long distances, obvs)
Kilometres most of the time, for running or going for a bike ride on my bicycle which has a carbon fork

Centimetres if I’m trying to make it sound more impressive.

I can’t get on with kilometers, I just can’t visualise how far that is like I can with miles.

Length in double decker buses
Height in Giraffes
Area in football pitches
in highschool we used to walk to the chippy on the high street at lunch time and it was almost bang on a kilometre. so I’ve always used that as a mental reference as to how far away things are.
Km for things like running
mm for everything else
Large areas are measured in ‘Wales’, of course. As in a ‘storm twice the size of Wales’.
And large weights in Whales (blue)
“I ran five chippy runs today”
I like it.

Metres and centimetres for anything within the house, except me, which is in feet and inches.
Miles for any form of transport. This is because 1) cycling in miles separates you from proper cycle nerds, and 2) walking a mile is a proper walk, whereas walking a kilometre is hardly worth mentioning.

a football pitch would be a useful one but I’ve never watched or played football so can’t picture how big that is to any sort of accuracy
Usually equate a mile to my penis length
I use the distance between my hands to indicate small measurements. Anything bigger than that, it’s miles…Exocet me which I measure in feet and inches
roughly 60 bikes long, maybe 35 bikes wide
