Ditch the pint in favour to what, 500ml

[Aitch]

Ditch the pint in favour to what, 500ml

But that's less than a pint

It doesn't matter whether they insist we ditch it or not - even if the glasses are relabelled in metric, everyone will still ask for a pint anyway - people aren't going to start asking for 568ml of lager*


*other beverages available

Doh, I had a blonde moment, which is unlike me

[Stu]

I'm all in favour if it means we have to scrap the duty as well and have £1.20 pints like the rest of Europe, or even 50p like Eastern Europe!

They make up rules to keep themselves busy, they impose all manner of shite on us and we pay through the nose for this! They should be nuked

[Wolvreen]

What paper is this? If its a Murdoch then its just good for wiping ones arse.
AFAIK Europe wont go near sacred areas like Miles and Pints.

Of course they would. Remember the grocer oop north that was taken to court because he insisted on selling stuff in his stall in pounds and ounces only

[Wak]

There's not much happens in the summer, so they make up stories like this to fill the newspaper.

Like has been said, even if we were to metricate the pint it would still be a pint, except possibly in those hateful pubs where they correct you and tell you it's Pepsi if you ask for a coke.

I know. But this is different, ie not sacred. We are supposed to be metric - Litres, Centimeters, Grams, etc. All these units *are* better IMO. But there are some sacred bits the Eurocorrupts know to keep off.

There was a new report last week that the PC (computer) is being phased out. coincidentaly the PC is 25 yrs old.
Heh was complete sh*te. Dont you love the LAJ's (lazy arse journos).

They have to do that because people expect Coca Cola when asking for coke
If you got it right and asked for cola they wouldn't have to
There's some law about it but on a Monday morning I can't remember what it is
