RFCUK Well, it's just a can of beer isn't it..
A pint is 568ml - Half a litre is 500ml.
So they are probably selling beer, but only 500ml, but people might htink they are pints..

Unless it was made very clear that people were only getting 500ml and not a pint (don't the ads in the concourse specify a pint e.g. a 'pie and a pint'?) then the caterers could find themselves in a lot of trouble with trading standards if they are reported/caught doing this.

This is RFC here, folk won't complain, and some will say it is a good idea, which actually it sort of is, but not if they are saying that it is a pint. Time we ditched the pint and went for large small beers, large being 500ml and small 300ml, IMHO

Why not, most cans and bottles are metric, we go abroad and it is not problem, cant see that it matters.

handbags_harris It's all about keeping a sense of identity and not following the masses. Being the only European country that uses the imperial measurement as standard is a part of that. Much like keeping the pound is to many people. And for that reason, I'm IN. No European shepherding for me, nosirree.

Maybe it''s psychological but 500ml never seems quite enough if you're just having the one drink. Keep the pint.

Mr Optimist Citeh have, or about to, introduce a two pint plastic glass to cut down on congestion on the concourses at half time.
Only problem for me would be having some sort of "eazee pee" system that allowed me to expel a lot of urine without leaving my seat.
