Only true from the mid 70s onwards. Prior to that it was a 1/4 gill. Indeed, even in to the early 80s, there were pubs in Glasgow advertising that they sold whisky by the 1/4 gill.

resk Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 In the days when spirits were measured in gills the most common dram was one-fifth. If you were fortunate you might find pubs that served a quarter gill. In England it was typically one-sixth. Irish pubs, as ever more civilised than the Brits often served a third of a gill measures... The Irish: a great bunch of lads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a P&B thread about it in the TV forum. I’ve not looked at it but it’s got quite a few pages. I can’t get my head around the thought of actual, real people watching this shite and then posting about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
