Thirty Bob For A Mouse Trap...

[sandyRoe]

Well, £1.50 in the new-fangled money. I bought 3 this morning and was surprised at the cost. Would it be cheaper to get a cat?

[DrFilth]

not all cats like mice

[Canary42]

New-fangled ? Over 42 years old ! LOL

[Zacs-Master]

But most of em hate mieces to pieces

[askyourgran]

Better get a cat, my cat loved catching mice, he always left the head on the back step though. When he wasn't hunting he was company for me

[sandyRoe]

I'm trying to perfect my grumpy old man routine. ;-)

My husband still works things out in old money sandy. It drives me nuts!

[mazie]

You should take lessons from mine. He's got it down to an art form :o(

[sandyRoe]

It must be what you were brought up with, Mazie. I still judge distance in miles and when I drank beer it was always in pints. Old habits die hard.

I hate these things, terrible memories of my pet mouse Elvis. He was caught in a trap.

[DrFilth]

the new plastic ones at b and q cost £4=98 for two so that is £4-19-7d in proper money

[mazie]

I do all that sandy but I refuse to compare prices of yesteryear...It would depress me too much. Good luck with the mouse hunting

[Canary42]

12 pennies in a shilling. 20 shillings in a pound. Ahhh, those were the days.

Tanners, farthings, florins, half-crowns, three-penny bits - ooooh what nostaglia. Money was exciting then ;-)

[Zacs-Master]

Beer still comes in pints Sandy. But it's over 60 bob!

[mazie]

It was certainly heavy Canary !

[sandyRoe]

Pity Elvis didn't have a suspicious mind. He could have avoided the cheese bait.

[mazie]

Don't you start Zac !

[Octavius]

sandy, I'm not joking. I was all shook up.

[shoota]

I used to lie in bed at night and dream about what I would do if I had £100...

[sandyRoe]

As long as you weren't all shook up over the loss.

[DrFilth]

be honest who kept their guide to the new money
