Clean glass each pint or the same glass ?

[Stubby]

When I used to frequent a pup I always liked to keep the same glass for each pint untill it was time to go home . It seems they are not allowed to do this now . Don't know why but I think the subsiquent pints after the first always tast better in the original glass . What do you guys think ?

It's that annoying old Safety Elf getting involved again. I can't say I've noticed the taste improving if using the same glass, but I share your frustration, at the sheer waste of having a new glass each pint. It depends on which pub and which bar staff you ask in my experience; some are more amenable than others to reuse.

They have to clean it because the glass comes into contact with the discharge/spout of the pump.

So if you’ve got monkey pox or whatever, and it is on the glass, then it can get on the pump, then onto other glasses…

Understood . However back in the day monkey pox was not heard of and I don't recall anyone dying coz someone used the same glass . I think dirt was cleaner then though 🙂

Cold sores/herpes is the real concern.

Again . Never noticed it in my day .

I quite often keep my glass.

Drink 3/4 pint then ask for another half in the same glass.

If they brim it (which is what you want) it’s known as a ‘marsh half’ down here on the edge of the Romney Marsh.

We’d call that a Sussex half in….well Sussex.

I suspect it’s a universal thing.

Cold sores definitely date back to the olden times, I know and I blame my mum!

Dirty glass please. The hygiene thing is a joke. You're going to be kissing the same people later in the evening.
