Page 17 of this week's 'Bella' magazine for women reports a survey under the heading: "Do you know how far 8km is?
"In an exclusive survey of 1,000 people, it was revealed that, when it comes to metric, we've still got a pretty long way to go...more than 80% [young and old] say they always count distances in miles...well over half claiming they have no idea what their weight is in kilograms..."
The article includes a daft quote from Anne Attlee of an organisation called 'Metric Sense'
