pre decimalisation, 240 pennies in the pound we could buy 240 penny(1d) arrow bars. Post decimilisation when 1d became 1/2 a new pence there were 100 pence in the pound, meant we could only buy 200 penny arrow bars for a pound. We wuz robbed by 40 penny arrow bars overnight, that 3s/4d - in one night shocking. I have never forgiven the government. Some things you never forget |
