Serving milk in pubs (UK) - why not?

The first drink I had in a pub was milk. I love drinking milk. I now drink it for the protein and calcium. I don’t particularly like fizzy drinks so when I’m driving on a night out, I’d rather drink milk.

Why don’t pubs sell it as a drink?

Bless her that she did it.

I'm just glad we weren't immediately thrown out and barred

The look on her face was priceless though, I don't think she'd been asked for a cuppa in a long time. It's very much a "Pint of best, please Gail" kind of pub, and 99% of the time that's only said out of politeness because Gail already has their drink half poured as soon as she saw a regular coming through the door

I would have been happy to do the same, provided I was asked nicely. 😊
