On my first trip to the UK, in 1985, a (proper Imperial) pint of standard ale was 85p and a pint of lager was 95p. It's been 20 years since I've been to London, but even then, beer was up to over 5 GBP per pint. > and even as a unit of measure, a pint is ambiguous. With a proper pint glass, there's a mark. Fill to the mark with beer (not foam) - totally unambiguous. -ethan
