Indeed
the sort of management that have been known to expect their staff to sell up to 10% more beer than is actually in the barrel.

really?
that's proper retarded. Even the short pipe run in our old bar would cost you a couple of pints per barrel change, you can't even sell as many as there are in a barrel...

My local is a cask place, with about 12 different brews at any one time,
and they lose a few pints per barrel from "tasters", real ale buffs wanting a crafty sample.

Struggling to find a link for it
but unless my memory is playing tricks was one of the big pubcos up north (probably taken over by someone else now) a few years ago.

probably.
Basically, fullers, MandB, and Greene king pretty much own the lot.

And that at least half of pubs in the UK in the year 2012

There used to ba a little boozer in the middle of nowhere, near where |I lived,
"The Moorcock",massively old dear ran it, the bar was her converted lounge, and she sold only bottles. Took about 10 minutes of her shuffling around in her slippers to get served. Anyway, only women were permitted to use her private toilet, guys had to go outside and piss up the wall.
Top place.

I assume you're talking roast spuds, from the freezer?
Don't get me started on frozen Yorkshire puds...
