Roll On

[sandra4444]

Monday when all this euphoria is done and dusted and we can get back to pounds and ounces.

[jno]

I'm going back to rods, poles and perches, and sending kids up chimneys. They don't call me the 19th Century Fox for nothing.

[gulliver1]

It's the Bushel and the peck I am looking forward to Sandra.

[sandyRoe]

I want to see the back of decimal currency. It's a filthy legacy of our years of servitude to Brussels.
The ha'penny, the farthing, the tanner, florin and half crown, need to be rescued from history.

[sandra4444]

Boris wants little old ladies asking for 2oz of boiled ham. Err, there's not many left after the covid cock up.

[drmorgans]

Going decimal had nothing to do with joining the EC.

[sandyRoe]

And those who have survived could buy a penny worth of peppermint sweets to have after their tea.

[Ken4155]

Sandy, what about the old thrupenny bit? We kids thought we were rich if we had one of those in our mitts:-)

[sandyRoe]

Yes, the thrupenny bit and the silver tanner.

DeMorgan's, I know but I couldn't let truth stand in the way if a good pretend rant.

[Spicerack]

You Remainers are only hurting yourselves with these snidey remarks.
In fact, it's the reason nobody likes you.

[drmorgans]

"We" still buy and sell racehorses in guineas

[sandra4444]

^^^ Stone me. :)))

[Patsy33]

I miss the old LSD..

[drmorgans]

Get in quick and you can get some CBD from an AB advertiser

[sandyRoe]

Patsy33,
You're much better without it.
Have you thought of a nice glass of dry sherry?

[Ken4155]

Never had you down as an 'acid head' Patsy:-)

[Ellipsis]

Speaking of roll-on ...

//"We" still buy and sell racehorses in guineas//

And cattle?

Say what you like about the Imperial weights/measures/coinage it sure boosted my ability to do mental arithmetic!

[Deskdiary]

Farthing, Tanner, Florin etc…

Are you all just making up words to fool people like me who have only ever known decimal currency???!!!

More than 200 pennies in a pound - how the hell does that make any sense?

[sandyRoe]

20 shillings in the pound and 12 pennies in each of those shiny silver shillings. 240 pennies to the pound. I suppose it had its own crazy logic.

[Ken4155]

You had 12 old pennies in your pocket and you walked with a limp. Had to put 6 in each pocket to walk evenly:-))
