thats nice. i wrote a requirement document that was expected to take a few weeks. amazing what you can achieve when cuk is down.

[DS23]

i'm not saying it is any good mind.

It was priced at 2/6d* by the way...

*that's 12.5p for the uninitiated... a lot of money in 1924.

30p, surely? Enough for a holiday abroad, back then.

[richard-af]

Nope.

30p is 6/- (six shillings).

25p is 5/- (five shillings). A crown.

10p is two shillings, 2/-, a florin.

12.5p is two shillings and sixpence. A.K.A. half a crown... luvley coins...

3d is a threepenny bit.

6d is a sixpence.

4d is a groat.

10/- is ten shillings or 10 bob.

HTH.

1 shilling = 12 olde worlde pennies
2s 6d = 30 olde worlde pennies. Or are you applying some ancient, early 1970s conversion rate? Grandad lizard.

[richard-af]

I thought it was LSD - which would explain a lot
