The measurement used depends an the distance.
A table top may be measures in feet and inches, or cm and mm. A journey from coast to coast across the UK, would be in miles and yards (or miles and feet), or kilometres and metres.
The bore of a copper pipe may be in 1/8th or 1/16th, or mm. So one measurement unit doesn't cover all possibilities.
