Remember when again...

his decimal currency has a lot to answer for doesn't it!   Just think though - 5^c sounds like more than 3^d

The threepenny bit was my one-way bus fare to school if the weather was so awful it meant I couldn't walk the mile and a half uphill - funny but I cannot ever remember going by bus!

The threepenny bit was my pocket money for many years.

I didn't get pocket money from my parents, but the threepenny bit was what I earnt from a neighbour every Monday afternoon for going and fetching cats' meat from the local butcher.

First time I've thought of that for many a year.....it's amazing what memories this thread is dragging back!

Those were the days.... when kids walked to and from school and spent their bus fares...most would rather brave the weather with a bag of Midget gems...I was good at sharing...but only after I had picked out all the black ones

I couldn't resist raising this post as my Granddaughter has asked me to make a list of the games that we played when we were young!!
I think it has something to do with the interest in "playing out".
I have really enjoyed reading through the posts all over again...six years later 
Thanks for the memories
