I remembered it, on page 141 of this thread.That is so easily forgotten. Or deliberately omitted.
The lead up to the Glazers take over is a fascinating story.
When I was a student, a butcher in Leeds market used to knock his prices right down at 4pm Saturday. Big scrum. 2 chickens for 5/- or 20p, in New money.

Surely 25p or did you get an extra discount for using new money ?

We went to Bury Market late one Saturday and basically filled the freezer for two months for £30! Still do it from time to time - why not? Went after the derby last week, everyone has watched the match and then gone shopping - bastids! Neither a bargain or a daft twat in a rag shirt so not all bad.When I was a student, a butcher in Leeds market used to knock his prices right down at 4pm Saturday.

My Uncle came home pissed up to my Grans every Sunday, ate his Sunday dinner then went to bed until Monday morning then went to work. The Sunday before decimalisation came in he emptied his pockets out and give me all his change. Next day I tried spending it, of course I couldn’t. I knew what was happening too. First let down in life I suppose.I worked on a bank till on Decimalisation Day.

When I told him about it years later he called me all the daft gits under the sun. Suppose he was right.

I doubt that there are many younger than me, who can remember it.
