I've always been a 'Glass Half Full' kind of bloke.

Ha ha !
But any glass half full bar steward leaves themselves and employers at risk of prosecution under trading standards for selling in proper measures.
If I was served a pint like that it would be a case of 'glass half empty'


So,in reality, my glass is half full so surely it's time for are refill ?

My old man taugt me this one if presented with a short pint.

Customer: "Thanks, but dio you reckon you could put a whisky in there?"

Barsteward: "sure"

Customer: "then fill the f'kin thing up"

Note that this was before the days of the glasses with the BS pint mark on it.

Only those folk from the north (including the midlands) need those silly glasses with marks on them to accommodate that frothy stuff they have on top.

Proper beer doesn't have that problem and fits perfectly in a pint glass - right up to the rim.
