5 oz glass good to know, not sure if they would still pour one these in the locals pubs.

My pal's dad drank a whisky and chaser, which was a pony glass. it lasted near the whole session, and he would have a few whiskies. (an old Glaswegian who drank Bells)

Yeah my dad could make a pony last several hours and several whiskies

I always liked the old boys (regulars) who had their own tankard for their beer - that was cool:)

And when it comes to real ales. I always insist on it being served in a glass (pot) with a handle:cool:

Like this, but not filled with lager:

'Love handles'? :D

Lol... Fortunately Del doesn't have any of those! I was thinking of something else:eyebrows:

Btw, did you call me last night? I noticed your number on the phone, so must've missed you.

What? No - disgraceful! That’s space that could be taken up by more beer!

Only if you're an uncouth southerner!:ner:

Damn right! Next you’ll be telling me you always use a narrow glass so your cocktail umbrella doesn’t fall in... :) :)

Yes I did, but I didn't let the phone ring for long. Will try again around 7:30 tonight. It's nothing urgent.
