As a South African living in London, I can confirm Nic's opinions on English
beer. Mind you, most South African beer is not a lot better (probably be
strung as a traitor next time I go home). Thank the stars for the Czechs and
the Poles - at least they know how to make the stuff.
>> their pints are quite large
Glad to see that Spirits and Measures Act, or whatever the UK legislation is
called that governs the size of a pint and other volums, errs on the side of
generosity.

As an Englishman, I can confidently assert that there is actually very
little difference between the contents of an English pint and an English
toilet (other than temperature)
So we may as well just put the figures together and get a nice, round,
1,000,000.
which is 1 out of 60 / year. Add to that the horrendous theft rate, and
you have quite an ongoing market.
