Isle of Man new alcohol measurements scrapped

Currently draught beer must be sold in pints, half pints or the lesser known one-third measurement.
They had planned on introducing a quater and two-third pint size after the liquor trade asked for the changes, however, the OFT (Office for Fair Trading) found that people were "unanimously opposed to the changes".

In the Isle of Man they also measure spirits in quarters of a gill, as they do in Japan, unlike the UK's 25 or 35ml size. Personally I like that they are keeping the old, traditional measurements, what do you think?
