"Do I know where hell is? hell is in hello"
Taking in part of a sentence from the first paragraph ,( " and its leaders now feel the time is ripe for an overhaul to meet the very different demands of the different beer world"), I personally think it's a move pushed on the "leaders" by dissenting voices a few rungs down the ladder, i.e the majority, and I am not entirely sure the "leaders" fully understand the" modern beer world" . I do agree change is necessary.

I was wondering what had happened to my "other" beer site:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04...woes_continue/. Cock up or incompetence?

Aptly named?
The Fleece Inn
Trading standards officers came to the pub last July, ordering a pint of lager and the ale. While the lager was acceptable, the ale contained 509ml of beer, about 5 per cent below the 540ml minimum, the court was told. A full pint is 568ml.

found not guilty BTW
I thought that was an interesting article. For a start, in the article it's stated that there is a minimum amount for a pint of 540 ml. I didn't know that - anyone else heard of that?
Apparently the volume of the pint that caused the landlady so much grief was 509 ml (10% short measure), and if that's the volume of the pint she's holding then I would certainly be looking for a top-up! If a barman in my local 'spoons served up pints that short then it would take less than 5 mins in the job for him to be put very straight on the matter.
There is a guideline issued by someone, the British Brewers and Pubs Association I think, that a pint should contain at least 95% liquid (95% of 568 =540). No legal backing I believe as the relevant section of the Weights & Measures Act hasn't been activated. Mr Humphry at Sam Smiths insists on his pubs only serving 95% maximum. I wonder if it would have been quite so "ridiculous" if the Northallerton pub had been paid 10% less for the pint?
Short measure is endemic in the north I'm afraid due to the swan neck/sparkler thing, auto-vacs don't help either and you get a wet glass, however generally we're all used to it and only ask for a top-up if the pub is really taking the piss.
Not quite, try this one,
