Don't know it was a northern thing, obsolete now, but a 1/2 pint used to be called a gill, when in fact it was only a 1/4 pint.
As far as I know a gill of beer is still half a pint.
I thought a gill was a quarter of a pint. Who remembers those 1/3 pint bottles of milk we used to have at school? Is there an Imperial unit for 1/3 pint?
Fred, a gill is a 1/4 pint, except here in the north a half pint of beer is a gill
www.thefreedictionary.com/gill Define gill. gill synonyms, gill pronunciation, gill translation, English dictionary definition of gill. gill1 A fish ... 2. dialect Northern English half a pint, esp of beer.
Remember the 1/3 pint school milk. Also milk was delivered in 1/2 pint bottles as well as pints.
I can't imagine anyone oop North drinking beer in half-pints! Thought they had more self-respect!
It's for the ladies Fred :-)
Until the law changed some pubs up here would refuse to serve pints to ladies, not that a 'lady' would dream of asking for one.
Well, one lives and learns.
Every day is a day at the university of life Fred.
