Double Bubble


I found myself in Reading a couple of weeks ago waiting for a train home so I decided to have a quick beer in the Siren bar in town. I asked for 2/3rds of a pint of a particular beer and as the barman was pouring it the keg ran out. He was apologetic and I made another choice, he promptly poured me a pint of another beer. Once I'd paid for the drink he looked at the 3/4's full original beer and asked me if I wanted that as well, never one to look a gift horse in the mouth I said yes and walked back from the bar with two drinks for the price of one! Must have been my lucky day, I should have bought a lottery ticket!
