I remember when

[computedshorty]

Can you change a two headed penny for four farthings?

[silverfox]

I've seen the silver 'threp'nee' bits on sale at places like Greenwich Market but I only remember the brass ones. The silver sixpence was known as a 'tanner' the shilling (as brum says)was a 'bob' etc.

I don't remember the crown (five shillings) being in circulation though.

you got a 5 shilling note didn't you? It's right at the beginning of my memory

There used to be a game called BATTLING TOPS. You could bring it in to schol on last day of term. Best game ever - in fact I think I will get it now, bound to be on EBay etc.

When I was at school I'd spend my dinner money on cigarettes. Ten Number Six, ten and a half pence a packet.

[brum]

...were they 'tipped', Jah? I remember from the age of 6 onwards running to the corner shop to get my mum her '10 number 6 tipped'.

[bob]

Could only aford to buy them one at a time.

[Jah Lush]

Tipped. Yes, of course. Horrible little things they. A couple of lugs and they were gone.

I remember doing that too. Or five Park Drive eh Bob?

[brum]

I remember scouring the streets for weeks looking for empty Players cigarette packets. Inside were coupons which I saved up to get the Players Football Annual - 1968. I was dead chuffed.

Actually it was Park Drive cigarette packets - were they Players?

Jah forgot about the five's, Park Drive now there's a blast from the past.

(In reply to Shorty)

Quite simple - when you cut and paste bits from the internet, it's normal to let people know where you've got the information from. That way they can go and find out more for themselves if they want to.

Same as when you were cutting and pasting all that website info about the V1 and V2 attacks. Same as when you save an image from the internet (say of the Friern Road prefabs, or of the Dulwich Cino) and then post it pretending that it's an old picture of your own.

The other part of my message is intimating that, in my opinion, you are inventing other usernames in order to have a conversation with yourself, perhaps to validate your own posts. I can't prove this, obviously, and I can't see that it does any harm. It's a trifle misleading perhaps.

Here you go, Shorty

Thanks, *Bob*

[*Bob*]

Anytime, *Bob* - see you around?

[*Bob*]

Hope so, *Bob*

Ted thank you for your assumptions, I have never pretended that a presentation was mine or included my name to it.

The items that I posted of the Vi & Vii Bombs were Steve's who is a member here he raised no objection to those being used to further his investigations, and even stated it here.

You are making unsupported remarks that are guiding others to think your way, and act on your belief.

I need no instruction on the use of how to use my posts.

Might it be imagination on your part to suggest that I am talking to myself.

Thank you for giving me credit of other members, I do not want it.

In my very limited time using the computer things are learnt, such as one member picking errors in anothers posts never looking at his/her own, that often show him as dominant, and some times a complete fool.

If you would prefer that I did not post then say so, as the members might agree with you, but on the other hand may support me, and reject you.

I only carry on a subject that gets replies of interest shown.

I have some very doubtful thoughts of members but I do not usually respond to a personal attack.

I joined this website to find my previous neighbours and friends but they have not responded as I looks that they are gone.

This does with your distasteful message make me considder Do I want to remain here?

Regards Shorty.
