Four Blackjacks or fruit salad for a penny. Those were the days.

Do you mind? Jacks of colour.

Old money to decimal currency was  a BIG com..

As a kid we used to get our pocket money and wander off to the sweet shop - one of my favs were the chocolate mice for 1/2d each.

so old money 20 bob x 12d =240 then x 2 (1/2d) so 480 mice to £1

wasn't long once decimal the mice were 1/2p each and losing 280 mice per £

Since then the mice just got smaller like Quality street tins and Toblerone/wagon wheels etc

The so called 'big purple one' is now more like the medium size purple one.

...and yet the words 'coloured people' is apparently racist. Go figure.

That's just your age, Opti, it shrinks as you get older.

As soon as I said big purple one I was doomed.
