Image of a news headline with a photo of Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak toasting pints of beer in a pub. Headline reads:

“Boris Johnson says people should work in-person again because when he works from home he gets distracted by cheese.”

Absolutely no self-respecting Londoner is accepting those pints without asking for a top-up.

For anything that is short measure, and particularly anything more than 5% short, we recommend that you ask the bar staff for an immediate top-up.

ETA: Just realized this is at Fourpure, likely when they did that stupid photo op holding empty 30L kegs to celebrate passing duty relief for beer sold in 40L packaging or greater.

A few pubs may still use glasses that are called line measures – these are slightly over-sized glasses that have a line near the top to show the level of one pint.

Interesting – these are the only kind you'll encounter in Germany. Probably because we want the head, as no head is associated with staleness

UK lagers are super flat with very little carbonation and they indeed serve them all the way to the top.

They might do it outside of a photo op, but beer with a head photographs better. Plus, imagine the optics. "Greedy, drunken politicians throw a hissy fit over a scant pour during a photo op."
