Got the Fazer back from the workshop today.
#18
[size=1.35em]Shit!  [/size] :grumble [size=1.35em]  then I am in trouble as I hadn't realise that the left hooker handlebars cost so much.[/size]
[size=1.35em]I only have about 7/2[/size][size=0.7em]1/2d[/size][size=1.35em].[/size]

[size=1.35em]Let me count up again: Half a Crown, a two Shilling bit, a Shilling bit, two sixpenny bits, two Thrupenny bits, 2 Pennys, a Hapenny, and a couple of Farthings, but my Mrs reckons that Farthings are no longer legal tender.[/size]

[size=1.35em]Makes me think now how did that foccing money work.[/size]
[size=1.35em]Half a crown was 2/6d, 2 Shilling bit was 2 Bob, 1 Shilling piece was a Bob, Sixpence was a Tanner, 3 Pence piece was a Thrupenny bit, the rest was just shrapnel.[/size]

[size=1.35em]20 Shillings to the pound, 12 Pennys to the Shilling, 240 Pennys to the pound, 2 Hapennys to the Penny and 4 farthings to the Penny. [/size]
[size=1.35em]Then just to make it difficult to understand, a 2 Shilling bit was not just known as 2 Bob it was also a Florin, A Half a Crown was not just 2/6d it was also known as Half a Dollar, A Sixpenny bit was not just a Tanner but was also known as a [/size]Sprassy, A Three Pence piece was not just a Thrupenny bit but was also known as a Joey.
