ONE place keeping an interested eye on the latest EU ruling on metric and imperial measurements is the Cardinal's Hat.
Andrea Limlei, landlady at the pub in Friar Street, Worcester, hit local then national headlines in 2002 when she decided to serve imported beer in litres when UK law says it must be served in pints.
She fought a long-running battle with Trading Standards over the issue and even won a top award from the British Weights and Measures Association, who supported her stance that customers deserve choice.
The latest EU decision to allow traders to continue using pounds and ounces does not directly affect the Cardinal's Hat, which is still technically breaking the law.
But Ms Limlei says it backs her argument to give drinkers the choice.
"Trading Standards left me in peace a long time ago and I hope they continue to do so," she said.
"But I am still very pleased with this decision for other traders as it is common sense and does what the Metric Martyrs campaign group has wanted all along - choice for the customer and retailer on whether to serve or to be served in metric or imperial."
A spokesman for Trading Standards confirmed that the EU decision allowed dual labelling and would not affect the Cardinal's Hat.
