On holiday in Hong Kong, Tony wrote to say that “without even asking and with no additional charge we were very surprised to get stainless steel straws in our soft drinks at the Cali-Mex Mexican restaurant in Sai Kung”.
Could this happen in Reading?

Holiday in Hong Kong? How is that sustainable travel? It seems to me that the ecological crises of Global Warming and mass extinctions mean that air travel is simply out of the question, except in very, very limited circumstances, in future.
No need for straw (paper. plastic or metal) to come as standard with drinks. With the exception of a few people with tremors no one needs to use a straw.
