Recommended Posts

While we're talking about the pound sterling, The pound coin was introduced on April 21st 1983.

 

Back then, one of those coins would have bought you::

20 cigarettes

I used to get a packet of Embassy red for my mother in the coop they were 4+7p that would have been around 1963 packet of chips was thupence or 4pence with scrumps. The going rate for Going to the shop for a neigbour was a penny for the coop and thrupence for Davy DP's as it was further. But you never got paid of your mother.
