When we worked in Hong Kong our local pub (The Kangaroo in Tsim Sha Tsui, sadly long gone) had "pints" of two sizes.

There were the "pints" for the local brews which were 500ml and the glasses (mug style) supplied to be used for the imported British ales which were a "proper" pint of 568ml. <edited coz of picky people>

Ordering the local ale in a British glass "because we liked the handle" worked for about 3 months before the manager realised, we were getting rather more beer for the same $$$

Spider?

I got something very similar a year or two back, never found out what did it but my leg didn't fall off.

Brewery dregs barely fit for consumption.

That would be Marmite Vegemite.

Never tried Branston Pickle.  What do you use it on?

An important educational video ...

Check you are actually using the correct capacitor; the value is usually on the pump rating plate. I wouldn't go more than 15% either way on value.

If the pump is in the open, give it some shade, these things really don't like the heat.

Generally, with capacitors you do tend to get what you pay for, so more expensive units may be longer-lived than the el-cheapo no-name units.

Why let the truth get in the way of a "good" joke.

Besides, that article is about Salzburg airport not Vienna...
