No switch to plastic glasses in pubs

I get a growing sense of unease when the misdemeanours of a small minority start to be used as a reason to restrict the pleasures or behaviour of the law-abiding majority. As pub walkers we may be about to see this happen to our enjoyment of drinking from a traditional GLASS beer glass as Police start to promote the use of plastic "glasses" instead due to a rise in glassing incidents.

Although there is general support for a targeted application of this change to higher risk pubs, any proposal to make this change mandatory across all pubs should be condemned and resisted.

If you agree that the traditional pleasure of a pint of real ale from a real glass simply cannot be matched by one from a plastic cup, then please add your name to the Morning Advertiser petition. Its easy, just sign here.

Today's pub walk: The Woodman in Wild Hill, Hatfield, Hertfordshire.
