Ahh now, I think we should go to Metric for beer.... personally I never drink a half, so it is Litre's for me from now on (providing they are the same cost as pints that is !!)

Maybe we should start a local campaign to get the landlords of ED to use 1/2 Litre glasses instead of 1/2 Pints and Litre glasses instead of pint ones, but charge the same old imperial price !!! :)-D

Jah - re: what we should drink our pint in. Obviously we should drink our pints in the CPT

measurements - hmmm - I'm biased towards metric but have a few remnants from imperial. A pint is obviously important but even that has become slightly inadequate so a Litre glass doesn't sound so bad

Oh dear god spadetown. It sounds very very very wrong!!!!
