That's more like several millibob, surely?

Nope, 25p is five bob.

Or 5000mbob - which is certainly 'several'.

Look guys this is all vastly amusing but does anyone want these ****ing
aerials?

Well it might help if you said where they were. It could be a long
journey to collect a 15 quid aerial.
There's an assortment of XG14s, XG21s, MBM48s, MBM70s, MBM88s, various
groups. They are in the loft and hard to get at so I thought I'd see if
there was any interest before I went to have a look. It's 16 miles from
here as well.

Yep. A few bob. 25p.

1 bob = 5 p.


Purchasing power of 5P now is less than the 1d at decimalisation.

Have you got a verifiable source for that info?

Then some oik will snaffle them, they'll be erected where they're out of
band, dismissed as "old rubbish" and binned.

I knew someone would ask that. OK, I admit it, they are for three black
and white analogue channels? You've caught me out. Satisfied?

I sent my 10" b/w telly for recycling yesterday, so I'd need colour
aerials now.


Or you could use three B&W aerials, appropriately painted, for the R,
G and B information. But you need the special paint, of which I am the
sole supplier.

Didn't they used to colour code aerials (with stickers on the terminal box) for
their respective groups?

No, 5000 is more than several... It's closer to "**** me, that's a lot"

They are big aerials, some oik will snaffle 'em and weight them in. 50p
to £1/kg?
