I recommend we "redefine" a mile to use the Roman system:
Roman mile
The Romans were first to use a unit of long distance mille passuum (literally "a thousand paces" in Latin, each pace being two steps). It denoted a distance of 1,000 paces or 5,000 Roman feet, and is estimated to be about 1,479 metres (1,617 yards). This unit is now known as the Roman mile.
This would increase our total by 10% -.-
Still not as effective as a "Barclays" mile.....
