A Joke

Carol Purves Carol's Blog May 26, 2022May 22, 2022decimal, half-crowns, shillings, threepenny pieces

I’m sure you are all too young to remember but in 1971 our currency went decimal; there were no more half-crowns, shillings, sixpences or threepenny pieces. We then had 10p etc.

One old lady who was opposed to the idea, said ‘If God wanted us to go decimal, there would have only been ten disciples.’ (There’s no answer to that one)
