Drinking watered down beer in smoke filled pubs is how I spent my youth. Wouldn't change it for the world.

Well given the way things are going, when I pay £2.60 for a pint I expect exactly that - a pint, not some short measure.

I was paying £7.40 a pint in Norway last summer.
After two weeks of that every day my bank account was £2000 lighter.
Now thats a shock when you get home.

I often do - proper stuff from Somerset. I also enjoy the odd beer now and again though.

If you so like the European form of measurements, shouldn't that be "When I pay £2.60 for 0.56826 litres..." ????
