driftwood has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

are you saying the gallon of fuel was 5 shillings?
im told a shilling was equal to 5 new pence
£1 in old money was not 100 pennies like a Decimal pound

you probably recall moaning like everyone else when your old money was decimalised and things cost more
this is what the french belgians italians germans have told me happened with the euro and for 4 years they worke din old currency to calculate new euro price
even today my german mate quotes what they sold in D mark for the BMW piston crank rods i seek then give sme euro cost
