The shilling went out before I could talk. I do not
remember pounds,
shillings and pence at all. I am 44.
The old shilling coins same size and vlaue as the 5p coins tht replaced
them were sitll in use until quite recently (ditto tneh florin and 10p).
I am very suprised you'd not leasrtn to talk by then :-).
More seirouly, I rememebr pounds/shiilings/pence and the decimalisation
-- just. I am only one year older than you. SOmewhere I have an
electically pwoered mechancial desk calcualtor that works i
pounds/shillings/pence (although that feature has been disabled by a
previous orner, I intend to sort it ot).
