if he knew it were that for a litre (just over 2 pints),

Stop confusing me Liz! You know I'm a very dim little Gnome...

A litre is 1.75 UK (20 fl oz) pints (ish) UNLESS of course you are refering to American (16 fl oz) pints in which case a litre is around 2.2 pints!

Now, you hadn't moved to the US last time I looked so is the South East of England now serving smaller pints than oop t'north? Wouldn't surprise me. Charge enough for it anyway...

BTW - back on thread - paid 98.9p per litre for BP premium diesel the other day. It does go further than standard but doesn't it seem dear:-(

Cheers
