Buying a bar

Re: Buying a bar
New build in UK is all metric these days but 'push fit' fittings are there for mixing the two systems. A few years back we combined the back boiler off one of our woodburners to the gas central heating system which I thought would cause problems but my fears were unfounded.

"Fizzy Urine" Must try that out on my drinking pal. Seriously though - best beer is German or Czexh !

I enjoy a pint of the black stuff from time to time or a cold Duval or Leffe. Cold cider on a hot day takes some beating.

AB Inbev are the real brewing experts. They produced 9billion litres under 500 labels in 2018. Some of their products probably look like craft beers. Some might be closer to fizzy urine.

Re: Buying a bar
I've seen those claims that foreign beer is hugely inferior to "real" beer. I don't think it applies to just beer though.

This thread led me to a glass of Guinness with an added shot of Port in it last nigh and very nice it was too.

I'd be very surprised in Spain if many ads for car alloy wheels, smartphone and laptop screens etc were not still stated in inches/ pulgadas.
Here in France, by the middle of the 19th century, metrication was fundalmentally completed, as a change over from arpents, toises and pieds(feet), which were the traditional French units. Even today in France, ads and store promotions for car/bicycle (wheels), tyres, inner tubes, tv screens, computer screens etc are invariably stated in inches (pouces).
The old imperial system may be forgotten by many, but certainly not obsolete.

Yes, he seems to have gone away.
