while you're all here, i wonder if you could clear something up for me

imaine you go to wxathc a match at a friend's house. you take six bottles of premium beer with you, and he puts them in the fridge. He has some cheap cans already chilled, so you end up only drinking one of the bottles you brought.

would you expect him to give you the beers back when you leave? or is it taken as read that the beers are your 'payment' for his hospitality? or maybe he should keep them for the next time you go round to watch a match, or bring them with him when he comes round to yours....

        I was fascinated to learn you can rarely buy a pint in Oz - they drink halfs. (n/m) (General Chat) - DrDublin, Oct 13, 15:58:22
        
        Same here in France - the usual measure is 25cl which is near as dammit a half pint. (General Chat) - Arganth, Oct 13, 16:21:24
        
        Do you find you drink less than you would in England? Or just more halves? (n/m) (General Chat) - DrDublin, Oct 13, 16:24:48
