Ok so this is beer related, but I am sure many a wine lover also drinks a beer occassionally, as I do. CAMRA has just released new research showing that a shocking 26.6% of pints served in pubs are short measure by more than 5%. This is costing consumers a whopping £1.3 million every single day.
There is one pub I love to go to that really annoys me with short measures. I complained once and to say the barman was reluctant to provide a full measure is an understatement. His words were “They are always like that”!
CAMRA is taking its campaign for full pints straight to the top, by launching a national full pints petition addressed to the Prime Minister. Please add your name to our full pints petition at www.takeittothetop.co.uk.
I’m surprised though that they have launched their own petition rather than using the online one set up by No.10. Still tis better than nothing.
CAMRA has taken an advert in Monday 16th’s Guardian newspaper and another is planned for Friday 20th April. This is the first time in CAMRA’s history that they have placed campaign adverts in a national newspaper. Together we can put an end to short beer measures.
