Officially the road system does not use miles.
I know of no Irish person who does not use miles to discuss long distances

Irish Times, today.
NOT THERE YET, BUT GETTING THERE
Madam, - It is reported recently that China has begun building a
brand new railway to link itself to Europe through Kazakhstan. This railway
will be 2,500 miles long and will be completed in 2010.
It was reported in recent months that Ireland will (one of these
days) begin rebuilding the already existing railway linking Sligo to
Limerick. This railway will be some 150 miles long and will not be
completed until 2015. If ever.
Am I missing something, apart from the train? - Yours, etc,
GERRY KENNEDY, Gore Street, Killala, Co Mayo.
He has missed something, apart from the train, indeed. 1. China and
Kazakhstan don't use miles; 2. Ireland doesn't use miles since January 20
last. Somewhone who should smell the coffee!
