>>1) Define Quid?
>One pound sterling.

Nobody ever explained to me how does it sterle, and what does it sterle.

>>2) Beer should be served by the litre.
>Never! A pint is just the right size......

Half liter is the right size... with the imperial pint you get that one spoonful extra that should be in the next bottle, but you still have to pay it with the first one. The US pint, OTOH, is just two spoonfuls too short.

Beer truly is a drink of habit. The best beer is not the one that satisfies any criteria, it's the one that's always uniformly bad. Anything, just as long as it stays the same.
