Hi Peter & All
As is the case here in Canada, due to our proximity to the US. Some
restaurants serve US pints(16 oz), some Imperial(20 oz). The metric
system tells us the truth, however, as the US ounce is bigger than the
Imperial. Our domestic beer comes in 355ml(12 oz US) cans and 341ml(12
oz Imp) bottles. Honey is sold in specified(by big brother) metric
sizes but is talked about in pounds by beekeepers.
