Yeah DLBH is renowned for defecating 24 times in five hours.

A mate of mine has IBS and we gave the name 3B49 whilst on holiday. I leave you work out why.

The two ladies perusing that shoppers table will only be in their mid to late 30's, unsure if it was the smog or their hairnets that aged them so fast. I remember my daz drops going up in price threefold and my spangles quadrupling and nothing short of a swizzle. One day there was 240 pennies in a pound and then next 100.

I remember D-Day clearly, but I bet there aren’t many younger than me who can.

I can't remember too much about teaching methods at primary school but I do recall them making a big effort to get us taught about decimilisation. So fair dues to those teachers who got us unrully kids to learn about giving up our threepenny bits.

Had one of those off my parents, when my Dad passed he left a load of coins, quite a few celebrating events like the Festival of Britain and the Queens Coronation, about 40 altogether gathering dust in a cupboard, I don’t think there’s much value in them.

I was 11 and remember it well but it was a bit confusing at first, 240 pennies to a pound down to 100, the retailers made the most of it by rounding up prices. It was part of the language of our youth, half penny, penny, threepenny bit tanner, florin, half a crown, (two and a kick), 5 bob, ten bob note and those green one pound notes. I don’t remember the white fivers that used to get mentioned but a fiver was a lot of money to a kid in those days.

Think it was two shillings to get in Maine Road as a junior around that time, I’ve still got my season ticket from the 75/76 season and the receipt is for £4.50 for 21 games (blagged a junior ticket!)

I remember saying I'd give up if they ever got to £1 for twenty. I roll my own these days but I believe these days they're now almost £1 EACH !! I often wonder how much tax I've paid for tobacco over the years.....
