I DON'T know why Gordon Campbell-Thomas complains about the measures served in "a well known pub, run by a big, bald-headed man" (Letters, April 8). I have never had any problems at all getting my beer topped up in his pub or any other for that matter.

On the contrary, usually the bar staff will put the beer down on the bar and tell you to let it settle a while and they'll top it up without being asked.

However, it should be law that glasses are lined and froth being above the line, then there would be no doubt.
