Solution for sports fans that is no small beer | Brief letters

The next iteration of the EBar should be piping beer directly to the seat (End of the bartender? The UK vending machines pouring pints for the masses, 22 July). It would avoid people balancing several pints while getting to their seats – especially annoying at cricket matches during an over.
