I AM interested in Euro MP Godfrey Bloom's comments about keeping the pint as a standard for beer (January 31).

I would like to suggest to Mr Bloom and any other MP (local as well as Euro) that they first support the Campaign For Real Ale in its quest to ensure that the British beer drinker receives a full pint of beer in the first place.

I understand that at the moment it is legal to sell a pint of beer which contains only 95 per cent liquid as a full pint. Surely we should sort out our own laws before we worry about Europe.
