Bars warned over short measures

And not before time either.The number of times i have had to complain about inch thick heads on a pint is ridiculous.And untrained bar staff pulling away from an optic before it is empty.
Now that is a hanging offence

It's not just short measures you should be worried about. I worked in a pub when I was a student and after closing time I was sent round to collect the glasses. All the beer left overs in glasses were collected and added to the contents of the slop trays from under the pumps. Light beer was kept separate from dark and it was put in the fridge. The owner put varying amounts of this into freshly drawn pints the next day, always to punters who had already had a few. Waste not want not. That combined with the "owners" bottles on the gantry that he bought when there was a special offer on in the cash & carry and didn't put through the books was a nice little tax free perk.

Yep. i`ve come across that before.i have even seen the slops being put back in the keg`s in one pub.If i see beer being poured from another glass while the pump is filling .I always refuse it.
Another trick was to put the dregs from the spirits measure tray into the dark rum bottle.That gave you a sair heid the next day.
