Indeed, you said "Distances longer than a few kilometers are measured in miles", which made it sound almost like someone starts a journey in km and then once it gets past say 10km switches to miles.
If you're pointing out the inconsistency of the UK using metric units for i.e. weight and then not for travel distances, I agree, its a bit of a schism.
