it is a good example tbh lizzie, total rebuild & spray. get ya purse out.
The last time Lizzie opened her purse she had a couple of tanners and a ten bob note in it.
£.0 s.11 d.0 that is going some didn't you just hate those sums......
55 new pence. Whatever happened to the old half-crown?.
Used to get one of those a week pocket money.....
You're lucky, Andy. All I received was a threepenny bit and a clip round the ear.
I have not only still got a few half-crowns, two shillings, shillings, sixpences, silver Joey's, thrupennies, half pennies, and farthings, but I have my most treasured coin, a Victorian third of a farthing (no! I never knew a third of a farthing in circulation, but I remember using all of the others in my time).
I also regularly work in old money to bring myself to ground, to remind myself of the true value of money.
By the way Vamps Opti's two tanners and a ten bob note would be expressed as 11s 0d. (not £.0 s.11 d.0) You are just showing how young you are......I know!!
The 11s 0d would now be expressed, if possible without the 1/2p coin, as just 4 1/2p. Now that was one of the tricks of decimalisation (15th February, 1971 which I remember well as we were teaching retail staff teams to convert £.s.d. to £. p.); the 11d priced product suddenly became 5p
which in old money was 1 shilling!. Instant inflation over night!
