Default OT; Ping Owain



As I understand it Inikced from a site but exactly my experience):

In Scotland, "a PINT and a HALF" means a PINT of HEAVY and a MEASURE of
WHISKY; in England it means a PINT of BITTER and a HALF PINT of BITTER.

Rod has it right,except that the wee hauf can be any spirits.Another
favourite of days gone by was "a wee heavy and a hauf"
