One thing I've noticed, having moved around the country abit over the last few years is that if you go to the pub up north and ask for a pint, you get a pint of bitter, in the midlands a pint of mild, but down south you just get a bemused look followed by the question...'a pint of what?'

That reminds me of an underage visit to a pub. My mate looked older than me, so he went to the bar. "Two pints of beer, please," he asked. The barman said, "What, bitter, mild, lager?" "No, just beer," he replied. "On yer bike!" and with that, we left.
