  I have never heard of metric miles, did you make that up?

    Also known as the Scandinavian mile. It is very commonly used in Sweden and Norway to describe long distances.

    Before the introduction of the metric system, there were many local miles. Some a bit shorter than 10km, some a bit longer.

      Ah, perhaps not as standard as I thought!
