This is not what Tony calls me, but for the international of you, it’s a kind of mug that’s–depressingly–less common in British pubs these days. Whilst I love the way they look, they are a little ungainly and really don’t look right unless you’re smoking a pipe. Quite a few pubs keep them behind the bar and will only serve you in them on request. So if you fancy a retro look whilst supping a pint of Best, go for it.
