That depend on which side of the pond you are on. Despite the American
proclivity for having everything oversize, their gallon is a wimp of a
portion as are their pints of beer.

Roger that. Explains how that Air Canada 767 got into trouble,
doesn't it :-)

Maybe it ought to be Gaylon or Galoun vs. Gallon.

No problem - just measure everything in ounces! The American pint is 16
ounces, the British pint is 20 ounces, etc., etc. Who needs Gaylon,
Galoun, Gallons, Imperial or otherwise? grin OK, OK, for the purists
the Imperial fluid ounce is 1.04 American fluid ounces - close enough
for government work.

On the subject of beer, I'm a Yank but after spending 8 plus years in
Britain I've thoroughly converted to the viewpoint that what we Yanks
call beer should be put back into the horse! Except for Yuengling,
Saranac, or River Horse, of course....YMMV

There are honourable exceptions. Sierra Pale Ale is quite drinkable
(though why it should be sold over here is a mystery), and if you're at
Kitty Hawk the theres an E-ball bitter at the "Outer Banks Brewing
Station" that's most acceptable.
