Bonecruncher	BS: A kilo ain't a kilo any more (58* d)	RE: BS: A kilo ain't a kilo any more	13 Sep 07
If Don Firth was drinking in a UK pub and being sold a pint measuring 16 fluid ounces then he was being severely short-changed, since a pint is 20 fluid ounces. The old school rhyme is that "A pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter". BTW a "schooner" is just a tall glass, with no particular quantity. Typically, today, schooner glasses are used for that disgusting beverage they call lager and a smaller version for sherry. Colyn.
