This does not surprise me. I noticed in the early 2000s that the Yorkie bar suddenly no longer had the 6 letters on the squares. Turns out... They sneakily reduced them to only 5! So the word no longer fit. If it weren't for the letters I might not even have noticed.

Also when I worked in a bar every year we got be beer glasses from the brewery. Every year they fit a little bit less. You could fill an old one to the brim, pour it into the new ones and yep it would overflow.

So sneaky and this has been going on year after year.

I thought we took pint servings very very seriously in the UK?? Are you saying there is widespread fraud of a pint measure?

Should I take a measuring jug with me next time?
