Death of the pint…what were they thinking?

The European Commission must have been on the turps they wanted to get rid of the pint from British and Irish pubs. They wanted the pint to go metric like everything else, but the good old beer drinkers kicked up a real stink and ran a campain to tell the EU to bugger off. They finally came to their senses and it looks like the good old pint has had a stay of execution. They also are going to allow the poor old Brits to use miles and measure their gold in troy ounces what ever that is. They just couldn’t cope with the change.
