Oh, Just saw a pig fly past!

For the yuff on here, there were 20 shillings to the £ and 12d to the Shilling so work out the price is in decimal for yourself! As a hint it is a lot less than 35p.

I confess I am so old I give up on this constant whinging about fuel prices. People are always doing it and it makes not a jot of difference. We need more tax income to fix the problems left by the one eyed Scotsman and I would far prefer they tax spending that I can control rather than my income that I cannot!
