    holy jebus thats not that long ago. I still remember the Punt-Euro changeover and what a pain in the hole it was having two tills. Think I still have some pre decimal stuff at home somewhere that I found in the attic at the parents house. Cant remember what the pre decimal pound was worth in pence though, anyone enlighten me.

    When I was about 8 I found a copper coin with a roman centurion on it..it was about the size of an old pound coin (remember them with the deer on it? Op you may not remember:)). I wonder what it was? My nanny asked me if she could have it. I gave it to her but secretly wanted to keep it. She passed away a few years later.

    I only just realised, that that 50 pence which is just floating around here on my desk, is just as old as this note which is also floating about,
