Yep. A few bob. 25p.
That's more like several millibob, surely?
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?


On D Day I was earning £13 a week as a schoolteacher.

I was born more than 9 months after D-day 1971, yet still had the value

You have impeccable timing in many things ;-)

Is it available pre-dried? My time is valuable and if you offered pre-
dried paint that would be really useful.


Yes, it comes in pre-dried sheets which you can glue on with my
proprietary quick-drying* glue. Bit more expensive of course, but
that's nothing to a mug^H^H^H man such as yourself.

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

Bill

Wouldn't mind one of the Jaybeam parabeam ones perhaps, for group B if
you have one?..

Yes, there's bound to be Gp Bs because that was the group we used most.
If there's enough interest I'll go round there and drag them out of the
loft.

Bill, go round there and make a list of what there is. Can you do that
without de-lofting the lot of em?

Three years earlier I was earning twice what my teaching pay was to be,
as a stop-go man on the A18. It was six and threpence ha'penney an hour,
time an' 'arf after ten hours, and we worked 6.30 to 7.30 every day
except Sunday.

Just about. The loft is clean but awkward. Idea! I'll get Paul to do it,
tell him he can have a cut (the size of which I will not disclose to him).

which claims that 1/240th of £1 in 1971 is now worth 4p

Thanks. Not sure how they measured RPI before Mars Bars appeared :)
