Not one uses a damn measuring cup to pour a drink.

An American pour at a bar is one thing all Americans should be proud off.

Now that's something to really hang your hat on, Go America!!

Myself I always prefered a Montgomery martini. As Papa described it Monty would not attack unless he had a 20 to 1 advantage. So 20 pts. Gin to 1 pt. vermouth I like them dry;the brits don't like the name of the drink. Also it seems that todays british children have no knowledge that the Battle Of Britain ever occured. Now thats sad.

I drink cheap American or Mexican beer in the states and lager beer around the world.

Once in a while I get a mixed drink and nearly every time have been disappointed by the pour around the world.

The same can be said about the amount of meat/cheese on sandwiches, condiments and paper napkins.

Ask for a paper napkin anywhere else and you get one. Same for ketchup.

I was in kerrville at a BBQ joint (think Billy's) they weighed the meat and the guy had been doing for ever. He always gave more and never charged for it. The right American way to do it.

Years ago I was talking with my stepfathers father,a scotsman who came over by himself around the turn of the century at the age of 13. He had some great stories. Anyway when he was a man grown + sucessfull he went back to Scotland + before visiting the relatives he bought a bottle of whiskey .He told me when he asked his brother if he wanted a dram,he filled up a tankard,a tankard if you please!!!
