just completed our first philanthropic event!
Today we did a sponsored 5 mile run to raise awareness for alcohol and drug abuse. It went brilliantly and we raised lots of money  just wanted to share the good news x

Look, it sounded like you were doubting her post because she said mile and lives in England. If you knew anything about England you'd know they use miles. So, you appeared to be dumb.
Now, please feel free to inform me about how I misinterpreted your "thinking smiley" or how it was completely justified for you to doubt her along those grounds.
Seriously.

When I lived in Europe, the metric system was the only unit of measurement used. Even the link that you provided states that the metric system is still the official system used.
I think her previous posts are more than enough to make people doubt her future posts.
But way to pick a cause to rally behind, I guess.

The Brits always use miles, pounds, yards etc, even though all of the other European countries don't.

Interesting.
My company's European HQ is in London, so we have a bunch of folks from over there that come to our US HQ (where I work). I've heard them use pounds, but distance was always stated in KM. This lined up with what I noticed when I lived over there.

If you search any UK marathon it is measured in miles. I can't believe you're having a go at me when I'm talking about running for charity! I know I was wrong in my first thread and I have learnt my lesson, but please don't make every thread I post into an argument. Drolefille, thank you for being more sensitive.

Thank you. We have made philanthropy one of our main focuses and have got loads lined up, including a bake sale, painting over graffiti with an inspiring mural, planting trees and flowers in a local nursery and volunteering at a homeless shelter. I'm very proud of the girls
