Riohog  this is weird while look at old photos after the thread of the same name for some reason started to think of the price of beer etc, recon 1s 9d is what  I remember fir Tankard and 10 and and a half pence for rough cider. Also  think petrol was 2s 11d. Lol.

Do the new plastic £10 notes remind you of the old 10 bob note?

Cheers Arry

I recall in the early 60's I would sometimes get a ten bob note in a birthday card ?(or a 5/- postal order), thought I was rich 

[Arry 23,411]

I used to ring (from a call box Lol) this girl i was chasing and we both go down the Steam Packet all night on a ten bob note. Wouldn't change a thing great days in my memory.

Cheers Arry
