  A fine write Andrew. Unfortunately we gotta spend several pennies at some places, if we want to 'spend a penny', in some cases 30 pennies! That's 30 goes. Enough for about 4 or 5 days. Can we do 30 goes at once? lol.

    You're right Orchi. uless it's a number two
    You're wrong on the sixpence though... not a copperling that one was a nickeling... like the shilling bob
    Cheers for the read

  I can remember all these. The times we would go into the sweetshop and there would be bowls with various type of sweets in them four for a penny.
