Legally it must be sold in litres, to placate the OAP’s they still include the pints.
Weights and measures: the law
Weights and measures - find out the law on trading standards for packaging and selling products
Units of measurement
You must use metric measurements (grams, kilograms, millilitres or litres) when selling packaged or loose goods in England, Scotland or Wales.The only products you can sell in imperial measures are:
- draught beer or cider by pint
- milk in returnable containers by pint
- precious metals by troy ounce
Off to the pub for 473ml does not have ring as off to the pub for a pint. Good thing it's kept the same for milk and beer.Legally it must be sold in litres, to placate the OAP’s they still include the pints.

You can display an imperial measurement alongside the metric measurement but it cannot stand out more than the metric measurement.

People would be pissed off if they ordered a pint and got 473ml of beer…
only milk allowed to be sold in pints is glass pint bottles, all normal milk (99% of what’s sold) is in litres and it’s only beer on tap in pubs sold by the pint, beer you buy in the supermarket is in litres eg 330ml or 500ml.
Oops, I forgot 473ml is the American pint version. So confusing.

Can any of you remember picking up a phone in the 90s and talking to someone?

Yes...also remember calling a prospective girlfriend and the phone not being put down properly. Nobody could make a call from either line until the parents had driven to the other house and asked for the phone to be out down. Still puzzled by that.

Our first phone had a big battery that was fixed to the wall. A man came once a year (I think) to swap it out for a charged one.
It was also on a party line, our ring was 5 short ones if I remember correctly. I only got a cell phone late in the 90's so made plenty phone calls on "normal"

I think the 80’s was the last decade of only using landline phones, mobile phones were around in the 90’s.
First lot were more like bricks.
