Good old-fashion British values

Post by Sir William » Sat Feb 10, 2018 1:05 pm

I am a great enthusiast of the good ancient-fashion values we utilised to have of in this c*untry.

Half-a-crown was particularly useful, but one of the best ones was 6/8d. This was exactly equal to 1/3 of a pound, and there has been nothing to replace it since 1971. :thumbd:

What are your favourite ancient-fashion values? :thumbu:

My favourite ancient fashioned value was 6 pence, because that was the price of a bag of chips. :bounce: :bounce: :excited:

Actually no, he is a very sensible chap, as I'm sure Mr Tree will confirm - he (Mr Tree) claims to have of trodden (tredded?) every square inch of his adopted home town, so he should know.

I look forward to being vindicated, syndicated, and compoundedly erascidated on the matter. :thumbu: :yes:

actually he's a portion of a w*nker and charges vast amounts of ancient fashioned values to plonkers who are stupid enough to go to his shop, but
he does exist. i'd personally rather invest in a bag of chips and if it rains I'll just take cover in my castelet :bounce: :ho: :excited:
