Letter: No reason to pay more for a full pint
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In answer to D. C. Godfrey (Letters, 9 October), what's in a name? If a 'pint' is not a whole pint of liquid, then who cares? I would much prefer to save the suggested 10p extra per pint and, when I have enough, simply buy another. Since I enjoy beer that is both cold and fizzy, I find it a ludicrous idea to wish to change all the pint glasses in the country, which must amount to millions, simply so we can drink a whole pint of liquid.
Please, Mr Godfrey, don't give the breweries an excuse to diddle us again. They don't need excuses from us; the Chancellor provides all they need on Budget day.
Yours faithfully,
PAUL PICKERING
