on this day

[bladeinspaceandtime]

My dad was doing his national service that year and was Stuck in army camp in Scotland so missed it. He's 84 now and still guttered about not being there.

I wasn't born then and I still in an (eaves)trough about it. Still I won't stay too down(pipe) for long...

d were pennies
Well sixpence or a tanner as it was known was.half a shilling was 2 and a half pence .so a threepenny bit would be worth 1 and a quarter pence.a shilling 20 in a pound was 5p
10shilling now 50p was called ten bob
A guinea was a pound and a shilling or one pound 5p.there all clear now

Cheers for that BTL

So
Sixpence became 2 and a half pence
A shilling (12p) became 5p
A pound (240p) became 100p etc etc
No wonder my nan always says they were all ripped off

In the old money you have used the 'p' letter as a symbol for pennies / pence. I am sure the letter was a 'd'. For example £1 - 12s - 5d.
No idea why.
