Last orders for classic British pint

via theage.com.au

Fresh from some Scottish licensing lunacy, the UK Government is set to introduce plastic pint glasses. How about just adding a requirement for a bib.

The government's idea is that by introducing shatter-proof plastic vessels it will help address the increasing problem of beer drinkers using pint glasses as weapons in their local pubs.

Needless to say the plan has gone down about as well as a warm beer served, well, in a plastic cup.

Making everyone suffer for the sins of a few is nutty public policy.

Where's the Potted Hough?

Chris Applegate pointed me to The Great British Sandwich. Very clever and fun.

You can follow in Twitter, become a fan on Facebook or even add to the layers.

Next up, The Great Aussie Barbie?

Do they still make Potted Hough, one of the torturous food challenges of my childhood? Just say no kids!
