Can't you see that the post was meant in the style of humour?
Perhaps adopting a sense of that would help rather than find every
opportunity to chuck insults at someone, by name, who does not even post
here?
Besides - the rules in (mainland) europe seem to be less strict on W&M than
Britain (ironically). I have found "real" pints* in France, Spain and more
recently Hungary.

I was expecting this type of response. I just wish Tony Bennett would see
this picture. I'd like to see how he would contort this to insist the
French are using British pints.
Priceless!

You astonish me sometimes.
That was the whole point of the post made by Carleton!
Do you think he just likes posting bar menus for a living?
It showed the prices for a bar in France where they used the British term
"pint" to mean 50cl in their particular bar.
As I said on another board - while you're down there here's another
shovel.....

The best part is the bottom of the board where it states that a pint is
50 cL.
What do you think of that Steve?
