Going out for a pint may never be the same

Britain's beloved pint may be facing a downsizing.

The office that sets measurement standards said yesterday that its proposed two-thirds pint measure for draft beer and cider could be on tap as soon as April.

The pint is so much a part of British life that it survived the European Union switch to half-litres.

Supporters of the new-size glass hope it will appeal to female drinkers, who traditionally eschew a full pint.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I certainly haven't heard it reported here in Cardiff.

There would be a revolt - an absolute revolt. You think football matches are crazy? This will be the next War of the Roses.

Who is the moron suggesting the idiodic measure?
