An Irish measure of spirits is 35.5 ml. The UK version is a stingy 25 ml

That's about two teaspoons' worth of difference.

I had some fried cod and french fried potatoes for dinner. Folks were lining up at Culvers'at 3:30 p.m. for fish, and they were out of walleye pike.

Right, I'm going to call it a night. Time to put the writing away and head off upstairs.

French Fries* or French Fried Potatoes?
*As in those things in McDonalds and similar, a thinner version of chips over here.

It's blowing a hooley here sufficient to rattle the shutters on this cellar apartment.

My word, sirrah, it isn't done to disturb the neighbours in such an unseemly manner.
After all, when one is British one needs to set the standard...

Not entirely true. Since 1985 bars can sell spirits in either 25ml or 35ml measures, but not both. 35.5ml is a bit of an odd measurement?
Edit: Thanks to Google I now realise that 35.5ml is the same as a quarter of a gill which makes sense.

Not that the gill was ever a uniform measure. I remember the school milk we were given in Yorkshire was a 1/3rd of a pint gill, then down south, I learnt that the gill was henceforth to be a 1/4 pint.
