Pint-sized dream

We return to the plans for the retired IT consultant’s ideal pub. Leaving aside naming conventions for a second, John Lang suggests a use for Bluetooth even more practical than incorporating it into a pair of sunglasses.
‘How about Bluetooth pint mugs – with a sensor which invites you to purchase a replacement when the beer level reaches 20 per cent? If connected to a wall outlet, it would give new meaning to the term “please charge your glasses”,’ he says.
Meanwhile, on to the important business of names, The Task Bar suggests Wayne Frostick at Aspen.
Retired Philip Sugden is finding this all a bit too modern. ‘Would something like The Chad & Sprocket, or The Valve & Relay or perhaps Initial Orders not be more reassuring to the older generation?’ he asks, before relapsing into a gentle sleep.
