Joke of the day

Proper pennies... with a young Queen Victoria's head on them. Twice the size of one of these new fangled 50p pieces. Real money.

What you on about? I'm in Lincolnshire these days and its still legal tender over here!

I have one of these, George V 1919, my M-in-L's birth year and I call it my 'magic penny' It is used specifically to scratch off the covering on a Lottery scratchcard. The 'magic' has only worked for a £20 prize! It's gold plated and today's number was 45! Fuckin' Mario has screwed me!

Yep, comes complete with 2 acres of agricultural farmland. Have to be quick though, all the yuppies are onto it now for their weekend bolt hole. Newark to Kings Cross in 1 hrs 20 mins so no doubt they'll bring their new, shiny currency with them.

I'd want a few coppers change into the bargain.

Half shilling worth !!!. Luxury ,in my day it was the penny tray to stare at for 15 minutes before making the big decision, and that was old proper pennies, not this decimal nonsense they've brought nowadays . If you tell the kids of today.

And we all knew the kings and queens of England 1900-1971.
