Express units of measurements in miles or metres, not kilometres or yards. To express a distance, use miles. Express parts of a mile in fractions, and when using fractions, write them out in words, not numerals. Example North Berwick is four and a half miles away. If you do need to use kilometres, use decimals. Example Haddington is 2.7 kilometres away. For shorter distances, use metres. Use m as an abbreviation only where necessary, and tag as 'metres'.
