DEFINITELY the answer to the FIRST QUESTION is “Take to £2,500 and buy a choice block of land!” Just imagine taking £100 a year for the rest of your life in the 1960’s. In 2020 it wouldn’t pay for a decent hotel room, let alone a holiday abroad 🤨

Tony Hancock reading his lines as usual. He was still great though
@locutus1553 жыл бұрын
The reading of Hancock's lines (on screen at least) didn't actually start until the BBC television episode "The Blood Donor'" where he'd been in a car crash just before and was having difficulty remembering his lines. Prompt boards were put up around the set and it worked so well that Hancock, a man who always found learning line laborious, chose to go down this route for the rest of his career.

Did you notice in the " Flake" ad, you never ever get to see them eat it, the camera always pans away. all subsequent flake ads did the same. We all know what happens when you bite into them, they crumble. Turkish delight were much bigger as well, today they are much smaller, they make the wrappers bigger to give the illusion of being bigger. such skullduggery today. Back in the day you got value for money. Well that's my rant for the day. Back to the loony bin.

Amy's Angel Guidance: a close approximation of pre decimal to decimal can be obtained thus; Take the numerals of, eg, 4/9 to read as 49 then divide by 2: result 24.5 new pence. I have noticed that folk not conversant with the pronunciation and spelling of ' old money ' use eg, six pence as two separate words when referring to the old ' tanner' (2.5 new pence) instead of sixpence, and they stress pence which is wrong.
