Exactly! I had an alcoholic friend who actually used to put his pinky out while drinking in the divyest dives you can imagine.
I’m reminded of Michael Caine in the film Get Carter. He’s an organised crime enforcer returned to his home town in the north of England to investigate his brothers death.
He goes into a hard northern working men’s pub and orders a drink. As the barman walks away he snaps his fingers and says menacingly; ‘in a thin glass’ (all beer being served in heavy glass jars in those days… except in London)

Your British comedy mentions have me combing YouTube. There are a hell of a lot of free old movies on YouTube now.

Ditto for me checking for old songs you mention!
