Very funny >:(

It is really... ;D

Bye the bye, living in Yorkshire has taught me a thing or two. I must have a couple of hundred carrier bags stuffed in various places in the kitchen and in my car. 5p indeed! That's a shilling in my book.

Well...if we're going down to small coinage...it's 24 ha'pennies or 48 farthings.
I used to like farthings, with a little bird on them. My grandad had a whiskey jar full of them and was quite proud of the fact. Be worth the square root of fick all now.

9.6 farthings to one new penny, and grandad used to get a quarter pound of sweets for a farthing.

Yer don't know yer born, yer bastids.  ;D

I can vividly remember taking my dinner money for the week to school.

It consisted of two half crowns making a total of five bob.

So a shilling a day. :y

Yes, exactly the same for me.
We used to get pink dinner tickets, whereas those who got free dinners got blue ones. Very un PC. ;D
Anyhow, I used to give a free dinner wallah half a dollar for his five dinner tickets, leaving me with lunch all week and two and six to spend. He, on the other hand, used to have a feast on Monday, and salivate over our scoff for the rest of the week. :)
I should be at the Tory conference really.

Yep, and me ...dinner money was 5 bob a week. Never saw tickets down here. My bus fare home, 2 miles was a penny. We had a tiny little sweet shop on route if we walked and most of the stuff was priced at a farthing each. Penny for a packet of Smith's Crisps. And aniseed balls were 8 for a penny. I loved them. Sherbert Dabs were a penny. In fact, when I started work in J K Taylors sweet factory, Sherbert Lemons were only six pennies a quarter. :)
