1¾ pints is approximately equal to 1 litre.

Therefore half a litre is about the equivalent to 7/8 of a pint.

7/8 of a pint is obviously less than a pint and just as obviously more than half a pint so it fits in with The National Weights and Measures Laboratory’s thinking.

½ a litre please landlord with a shorter measure of ¼ litre.

I only have one friend who has a car at uni and there is no chance he'd have a drink before getting into his car OR get drunk the night before he has to drive in the car. Thank god that some people are responsible and respect the roads.

Without a doubt , sentiments like the above and Law degree will qualify you for a local council job earning £60k a year patroling the pubs looking for dog ends in the urinals :rolleyes:
