£IOO,OOO WORTH OF BEER GIVEN AWAY
Free beer to the value of over £IOO,OOO is given away in London every year. Everyone working in a brewery is entitled, by age-old custom, to two pints of beer daily—one in the morning, another in the afternoon. Workers from outside firms, in the brewery at these hours, also draw their pints, and those who are working overtime qualify for an evening drink as well. The free beer bill for London’s breweries alone runs to a figure well exceeding £2,000 a week. One firm has 1,500 regular workers, each of whom is entitled to a shilling’s worth of beer a day.
