I am a Millimetre/ Metre man. The only time I use Centimetres is when I am describing someones height (Incidently I am 178 cm's tall).Some may find Miles more 'romantic' than saying Kilometres but I think the Aussie slang for Km's, klicks, leaves miles for dead: eg "Yeah mate the pub is five klicks up ta road then turn right, you cant miss it".
