patricia NASH
knowlegable brummie
i kept a flower shop in islington row when decimal came out the goverment supplied us with a large plastic board with the coversion rate on the board , it took a long time to get used to we were swindled, every thing was rounded up up to the new decimal money , even now i am in my 80th year bloody hell 15 bob for a cuppa tea now work that one out blue brummie lolI was rummaging through a few old things of mine and I came across the following booklet about decimalisation that I am certain many will remember! Myself I was only a month away from being 5 so I don't personally!
I remember Mom and Dad telling me when I got older that a lot of people felt swindled when it all changed over (even though you could get a lot more for your money then compared to today's prices!). A lot found it confusing too, I know I only had to read the back page and I was confused! LOL Anyway enjoy!
