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.

Take it to the Top

A new survey by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has today revealed that one in four pints in the UK are served less than 95% full and this is costing beer drinkers a staggering £481 million every year! CAMRA has today launched a nationwide petition calling for the Government to end short measures as they promised a decade ago.

This problem does not just affect real ale drinkers but of course lager and cider drinkers too - so if you want to enjoy the full pint you've paid for then why not sign the petition and add extra weight to this campaign?

To sign the petition online go to www.takeittothetop.co.uk and let's see if we can help to make the difference.
