Just realised I've given up asking for a pint over here in Oz, just going for large...

It's one of those moments

Pints are perfectly normal here in Melb. When Tassie gets to realizing that things need measuring you might be able to suggest the Imperial scale. 😆

Eventually you might get the IS units there. Say a hundred years or so.

They are variable, know places in all states that serve them all... Depends on bar, city state and strength. Just had a pot served in a brandy glass, it was an imperial Russian though

Here your choices are usually 16 or 22oz neither of which are a 'proper' pint.

Here it's cañas (little glasses), dobles (roughly twice a caña) and tercios (33cl). Occasionally jarras and minis, the latter confusingly a lot bigger than a usual beer. But very rarely "pintas". I miss the beer more than the measure TBH.

When you visit the UK and find the milk tastes disgusting. And the beer too.

I have to admit it was months before I realised the Aussies sold beer in glasses bigger than a Pot/Middy - they're bloody tiny, it's like asking for "a shot of weak Aussie piss please".

Schooner's are 'more like it' but I think they're only 3/4s of a Pint.

When you forget you have to get a visa for one's boy, and have to leave them behind at the airport. Who is going to carry the bags now?
