Re: Old Money

At infants' school we were all given a free presentation set, enclosed in plastic, of the new coins issued at the time of the Queen's coronation. Who still has their set? An early case of quantitative easing?

Re: Old Money

I remember school dinners costing 2s 1d when I was at Parkwood Junior School, in 1950-51, i.e. 5d a go - the only year I ever partook of the local edu authority's culinary delights; though my recollections on the whole quite positive. Before your time, lads, but what did you pay a decade later?

Re: Old Money

I think they were a bob a day during most of my KBGS days. I remember a price increase from 9d to 10d in the mid fifties almost resulting in civil unrest!
