That suggests nothing of the sort, you pathetic excuse for a bullshit

It didnt get where the term handle was used
wrong, you pathetic excuse for a bullshit artist

And you haven't extablished that the term
handle isnt mostly used for 425-450 ml either

>>> Footnote number 6, on page 3, is of interest:

Have fun listing anywhere that does

Pathetic!!

> You had to ask what a handle of beer is,

Because I had never heard that term
used before for a measure of beer.

The only thing that comes even close is
a stein or a jug of beer, both of which I
have heard plenty of times before

It never says that that term is used in Kangaroo Island

More of your stupid bare faced lies with the SOURCES

And the coroner and stoneandwood doesn't either
