OUNCES TO A PINT
On page 20 of Korero, Vol. 2, No. 4, you state that 18 oz. of water is 2 oz. more than a pint. It is many years since Wanganuis held 16 oz. beer, and even then 20 oz. constituted 1 pint. You must have been thinking of those sad, departed days when you fondly imagined that you drank a full pint of beer in your 16 oz. mug. Is the weights and measures genius in A.E.W.S. working on behalf of the pubs in trying to tell soldiers that 16 oz. make up a pint ? Every schoolboy knows that 20 oz. make a pint.
